Condition remarks: Condition as shown in image
In Civilization and Its Discontents, Freud theorised the fundamental tensions between civilisation and the individual; his theory is grounded in the notion that humans have certain characteristic instincts that are immutable.[4] The primary tension originates from an individual attempting to find instinctive freedom, and civilisation's contrary demand for conformity and repression of instincts. Freud states that when any situation that is desired by the pleasure principle is prolonged, it creates a feeling of mild resentment as it clashes with the reality principle.
