Answer 1

Answer:

The answer for the meaning of the term alienation is option B)transferring ownership of goods.

Explanation:

Alienation is the reality that workers in capitalist society are forced by the necessity of subsistence and lack of ownership over the means of production to sell their labor-power as a commodity to someone else: the capitalist.

Vital to the emergence of capitalist alienation is the specialization of labor, the reserve army of labor, and the establishment of routine work flows like an assembly line.

There are four aspects of alienation as corresponding to the capitalist mode of production:

• the alienation of the worker from the products of their labor,
• the alienation experienced in the production or labor process,
• alienation from our species-essence or human essence, and
• the alienation of man from man or from society.
