[edit] Space aliens

The link from the rather abstract philosophical discussion at the beginning to the everyday use of the term "alienated" seemed a bit odd. None of the examples relate to aliens from space. However, the examples were useful so I have removed some wording and added a heading "everyday use of the term". Itsmejudith 15:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of neutrality.

Qoute; "social alienation refers to the individual's estrangement from traditional community and others in general."

This means that social needs is measured exlusive by it's ability to re-confirm the worth of conservate culture. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.233.116.226 (talk) 03:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Lack of Content/Quality

This article has no sources, is heavily biased towards Marxist social theory, and links "The Catcher in the Rye." No discussion is raised concerning the psychological aspects of alienation, and the overall tone of the article when discussing society is petty and pessimistic. The article's quality is low compared to the other social and psychological articles on Wikipedia. This is not a first-year Sociology course. jdyachimec 1:03, 21 October 2007.
