Reflect on the existentialists main beliefs that have made men and women unsympathetic, including the increasing dominance of technology, the complex size and structures of many businesses, bureaucracies, and social organizations; the manipulation by the media and advertisers. In what ways have these forces affected you? For example do you sometimes feel that you are being treated more as a social security number or are seen by others as an abstract catergory rather than a unique individual ? Do you feel that it is difficult to forge meaningful relationships with other people in the professional or social groups of which you are a member? Have you felt disconnected from the jobs that you hve had being treated as an "object" and not a "subject"?
