The alien is what <strong>belongs to another individual<\/strong> or that results from <strong>characteristics different from their own<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For example: <em>\"When I was little, my mother taught me that I should never keep someone else's things\"<\/em>, <em>\"I believe that the president cannot remain oblivious to this situation: if the unemployment rate continues to grow, the country will enter a deep crisis\"<\/em>, <em>\"I have always tried to be oblivious to controversy\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>idea<\/strong> of someone else can be applied to <strong>material objects<\/strong>.  A person has belongings: articles and products that he bought or that were given to him and that therefore belong to him.  If a subject named <strong>Juan<\/strong> buy a phone, the phone is yours.  In order to <strong>Martin<\/strong> or <strong>Peter<\/strong>, to name two other people, that telephone in question is alien.  So yes <strong>Martin<\/strong> or <strong>Peter<\/strong> they take over the phone of <strong>Juan<\/strong>, they will have committed a robbery.<\/p>\n<p>Although many strive to highlight the differences between our species and others, the concept of <em>alien<\/em> it is something we share with animals.  Although in nature it is not so common for each individual to have <strong>belongings<\/strong>Animals that live with human beings do appropriate various objects, such as toys and beds.<\/p>\n<p>The alien can also be something of a <strong>different condition<\/strong> or what happens <strong>strange<\/strong>.  An Argentine who lives in the <strong>USA<\/strong> You can refuse to participate in the celebration of <strong>Halloween<\/strong> (<strong>Halloween night<\/strong>), claiming that for him said celebration is <em>\"alien\"<\/em> to your feelings.  In this sense, the individual does not experience any identification with the event for cultural reasons, since in his native land no attention was paid to the date.  This consideration of <strong>Halloween<\/strong> as something alien obeys customs and traditions, in turn related to the <strong>story<\/strong> of the towns.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ajeno.jpg\" alt=\"Alien\" width=\"260\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46652\"\/>There are several expressions that include the term <em>alien<\/em>, and one of the most common is <strong>oblivious to someone's will<\/strong>, which serves to explain that a situation is beyond the <strong>control<\/strong> of said person, who cannot do anything to end it or who could not have led to its beginning, since it took place beyond his actions.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose that a person has been working in a company with a very good performance for some time: he always arrives first thing in the morning, he fulfills all his tasks within the previously established deadlines and his discipline is impeccable.  Despite his flawless performance, one fine day they tell him that they will have to end their contract at the end of the month, without having been able to anticipate it.  Surprised and outraged, he goes to his supervisor for an explanation, and he responds. <em>\u00abI'm sorry, your dismissal was foreign to me <strong>Will<\/strong>;  the human resources department has been forced to make cuts due to lack of budget \u00bb<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Staying oblivious to something, finally, is linked to <strong>stay away from it<\/strong>.  The meaning of the expression is not positive or negative in itself, and it may well apply to attitudes of both types and even to situations that are halfway between the two extremes.  It is correct to say that a politician who wants to be oblivious to confrontations, for example, wishes not to enter into <strong>discussions<\/strong> or clashes.<\/p>\n<p>Not wanting to be involved in an argument between two other people can be a show of respect towards them, to avoid causing an interference in their relationship, but it can also speak of a lack of <strong>commitment<\/strong>especially if your participation could help them solve the problem.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;4953&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;alien&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px;
