Four major issues on alienation, based on Kenneth Keniston's book, "The Uncommitted," are discussed. An individual can be alienated from almost anything. He can replace the old relationship by various other relationships. An individual can express alienation in a variety of ways. Alienation can be induced by a number of factors, people or issues. The outside sources by which an individual can feel alienated are: 1) Cosmic outcastness, 2) Developmental estrangement, 3) Historical alienation, and 4) Self?alienation. The self?chosen alienation is individual alienation.
