In Estranged Labor by Marx, Marx talks about how people were separated from the world, and broken up into two main groups. The two groups that Marx talks about are the property owners and the property-less workers; however only the property-less workers experience the separation from the world. There were a couple reasons that the worker felt that separation one of which was that they didn't own their labor. These workers put so much hard work into the product that they are laboring to create, and yet the product is not theirs. Working, for people, gives them a feeling of purpose and a reason for living. A lot of people think that you are your job and for these people that was not a good thing because they didn't feel as if they were serving that big of a purpose.

Before reading this i never knew how much of a philosopher that Marx was or that he revealed himself as the great philosopher of work. It seemed like he really had an idea of how people thought in regards to their occupation, or at least he thought he did. Marx had a lot of ideas and theories about how peoples jobs affected them, but not all of his theories were validated. Personally i think that people have more worth in their and what their job indicates. Marx talks about how human beings are alienated from the world they live in, because of the amount of worth that they think their job has. Until reading Marx i never thought of property owners and property-less workers as a way to classify people. This is clearly a strict upper and lower classification scale, there is no middle class Marx simplified the economic classes. Although many of Marx's theories about labor and estrangement from the world were not considered valid, i believe some of the things he was saying were genius for this time and even more genius for an amateur philosopher.
