<span>Social
alienation is the social condition
characterized by low degree of integration or the sharing of common values with
others, and the overwhelming isolation from the community.
</span>
Here
is how social alienation is reflected in the following sentences:
<span>
1. "We all had the same medals, except the
boy with the black silk bandage across his face, and he had not been at the
front long enough to get any medals. The tall boy with a very pale face who was
to be a lawyer had been lieutenant of Arditi carefully selected volunteers
specializing in dangerous campaigns and had three medals of the sort we each
had only one of. He had lived a very long time with death and was a little
detached.</span> "
While
all them were from the war, the speaker chose to look at how different they
were--with or without medals, length of service etc. Social alienation caused
by war is shown here as the speaker describes each person not by his social
skills, but by social status/ position in the military.

2.
We were all a little detached, and there
was nothing that held us together except that we met every afternoon at the
hospital. </span>
<span> The speaker explains the disposition of them
three. they were disconnected and withdrawn. Social alienation is characterized
by disinterest and indifference to others, even if they shared an experience.

all.</span>

3.
Although, as we walked to the Cova
through the tough part of town, walking in the dark, with light and singing
coming out of the wine-shops, and sometimes having to walk into the street when
the men and women would crowd together on the sidewalk so that we would have
had to jostle them to get by, we felt held together by there being something
that had happened that they, the people who disliked us, did not understand.</span>
<span>
In
this sentence, the speaker showed social alienation caused by war as he relates
the standoffishness between them veterans and the rest of the community( who
disliked them). It shows that social alienation caused by war is the constant feeling and/or thinking that there is
absolutely nothing common between two people or between two groups.</span>

She looks down upon it.
In _A Raisin in the Sun_ by Lorraine Hansberry, Walter
Younger has a plan to open up a liquor store.
Normally, a parent would support a child’s ambitions, but in the
