Use May's concept of alienation to explain Peter's confusion about what it means to be a man and father and about his current employment situation.
What will be an ideal response?
Umwelt is the physical aspect of existence. Mitwelt is the sphere of personal relationships. Eigenwelt is a person's consciousness. Alienation is the feeling of being separate from any of the above three modes of existence, i.e., physical nature, other people or from yourself. Peter is currently experiencing feelings of separation from himself. He is unsure of what his roles should be and those that he is currently fulfilling or considering (e.g., mail carrier, stay-at-home father) are contradictory to what he believes he should be.
