Topic: Civilization

Order Description

In Freud’s Civilization and Its Discontents, we have read five chapters that address how Freud believes civilization and the individual are at odds with one another.

He suggests such conflicts arise through a pleasure principle that cannot be fulfilled, a suffering that cannot be avoided, and/or an “art of living” that clings too

tightly to the external world. The individual becomes too engulfed in the demands of civilization, and out of the want of love, of family, and often a desire to be

part of the “totemic culture,” he or she permits the super-ego to rule the conscience, wherein instinct can become subdued.
Write a thesis-driven essay analyzing one way in which civilization and a specific individual or a specific type of individual seem to be in conflict, using Freud and

at least two additional outside sources to support your analysis.
Start by asking yourself the ways in which civilization imposes its expectations upon us. How we live, what we eat, and whom we associate with are broad beginnings,

our ways. you’re looking for one way, so you need to be more specific.
For example, looking at how some people are not permitted to live outside their own culture because of an ongoing prejudice against those who are “different” is a

start, but it’s still too general. who are these people? what is “different” about them? who, in particular, has to face and process such daunting bias?
In other words, be as specific as you can with what a specific individual or specific type of individual has to face. The writer would identify a specific person

(perhaps someone even known by name) from a specific culture (race, class, lineage, environment, etc. – also identified by name).
Make the thesis and point clear.
Outside sources must be valid. No web blogs, obscure websites, or dictionaries. Think news, journals, books, etc. (Make sure any web sources you do use are written by

noted journalists, experts in their field, etc. and not some unknown with an opinion.) You also must incorporate them effectively and consistently in addition to your

use of Freud; the rule of thumb is at least one means of support – quote or paraphrase – per point. Two to four quotes in a paper of this magnitude and depth will not

be sufficient.
