In sociology and critical social theory, alienation refers to the individual's estrangement from traditional community and others in general. It is considered by many that the atomism of modern society means that individuals have shallower relations with other people than they would in a traditional community. This, it is argued, leads to difficulties in understanding and adapting to each other's uniqueness. This is sometimes also referred to as commodification, emphasizing the compatibility of capitalism with alienation. German sociologists Georg Simmel and Ferdinand Tönnies have written rather critical works on individualization and urbanization. Simmel's "Philosophie des Geldes" ("Philosophy of Money") describes how relationships become more and more mediated through money. Tönnies' "Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft" ("Community and Society") is about the loss of primary relationships such as family bonds in favor of goal oriented secondary relationships.

Οχι απαραιτητα ενα χρηματικο ποσο, αλλα καποιο κερδος ουτως η αλλως...
What the fuck is wrong with us?
What happened to the joy of GIVING and SHARING?!?
Περιεργο ειναι επομενως, να απελπίζομαι και να κλεινομαι στον εαυτο μου? Ε?!?
