%ALIENATION 970718
See the preceding essays for background information.
Alienation is relational, not individualistic. Each
instance of alienation involves at least two participants
in an alienative relationship. Usually all the
participants in an alienative relationship bear some
responsibility for the alienation. Often the
participant(s) most prone to behave self righteously
regarding the alienation is more responsible for the
alienation than others are --- and is (are) most prone to
blame/guilt/shame others for the alienation which has
developed.
An example may help make this clear.
In some instances communal neglect of children and
young peoples' needs, desires and views leads to alienated
adults who turn to crime to get attention, express their
alienation and try to full their perceived needs. Their
community is likely to pass judgement on them, condemn
them, and send them to prison to further alienate them as
punishment for their response to their alienation from
their community. The outcome is rarely reconciliation and
recovery of integrity.
Each person involved in an alienative relationship
suffers from the alienation. For such a person to act as
if the alienation is some other person's (or persons')
problem is dishonest --- and likely to aggravate the
alienation and its disintegrative consequences. The
reduction of alienation is a mutual task which cannot be
achieved unilaterally by any one or few participants in an
alienative relationship. Alienated people are
interdependent in perverse ways --- just as members of an
integrative community are interdependent in healthy ways.
