‘Alienation’ Final Report My definition of alienation is when a person feels different from other people in society‚ usually because of people or events that take place in their life.

Holden defines others as phonies because he is critical and has a negative

The Age of Heroes vs. The Age of Humanity The notion of alienation is a very unusual one yet it is a widespread feeling—a very subjective‚ somewhat indefinable feeling—and a critique of the nature of any society that exists today.

He observed that these strands of solidarity are stronger or weaker in different societies‚ and he also observed that some modern social forces tend to break down
