Alienation is characterized as alienated labor. The alienated labor in Karl Marx's Manuscripts refers to forced and involuntary labor in which the worker finds no purpose, no pleasure or contentment, no needs fulfilment, no independence or power, no mental growth or physical development. This is a state in which a person feels isolated, humiliated, unworthy, and insignificant. It is an operation that belongs to someone else and it is not random and it simply is a way of meeting the needs of physical life. It is a pure wage-earning practice in the political economy. According to Marx, here are four types of alienation of which Marx wrote as relating to the capitalist mode of production: the alienation of the worker from the products of his labor, the alienation felt in the course of production or labor, the alienation from the nature of our species or human existence, and finally the alienation of man from man or society (1844). This research paper will further look into this.
