According to Marx, alienated labor is the result of workers no longer being tied to their products or consumption, allowing workers to be easily exploited. This term primarily focuses on factory workers who have only a short amount of time to produce certain parts of a product, but are never really involved in the production and consumption of the finished product. These workers are convinced that their contribution is not as valuable as the finished product as a whole and are therefore easily exploited because they are socially constructed to believe that their work is not as valuable as others. However, while I agree with Regarding Factory Workers, I also believe it goes further. I don't think Marx considered other types of works in this theory. I believe there are many other professions in which alienated labor plays a role. Even though some jobs are more tied to their products and consumption than a factory worker, they are still exploited. Many workers who are not in management positions are convinced that their work is not very important or that their job is not difficult and, in return, they are willing to accept a lower salary than what they would like. 'they really deserve it. For example, I am personally a hostess in a restaurant. and although the work seems simple, it is quite the opposite. Dealing with people who have no patience and constantly having to keep control of yours, while trying to please customers as well as your own boss, is not easy. Not only does it take a toll on me physically to be on my feet all day without a break, but it also takes a toll on me emotionally and what is that worth? No one can put a price on emotional stress, but yet they do and... middle of paper... nicer and nicer cars than people would work so hard for? No one would work that hard to be equal with everyone else. People work to be rewarded, they want to be recognized for what they have done and that is not an easy thing to do, to be recognized. But once people get recognition, all the work seems worth it and it also increases the motivation to continue. Not only are different classes of people good for motivational purposes, but without more powerful people it would be chaos trying to establish rules and regulations. There must be structure in a society and there must be a higher power to lead people to follow. There must be consequences, otherwise there would be no point. If there were no lower paying jobs, people would not seek education or self-improvement..
