In a 1000-word research essay discuss Freud's view of society and humans' attempts to adapt to that society. Find and study at least three scholarly articles on Freud's work to help you formulate a research paper on Freud's view of society. Your essay needs a clear and arguable thesis statement.

Do you agree with Freud that people have innate tendencies towards aggression, destruction, and cruelty? What is the role of love in society, according to Freud?
