Freud. Super Ego
Given paragraph explains that the development of civilization starting from small families and finishing with large communities occurs with an increase of the sense of guilt. In other words according to Freud, the freedom of the individual was the highest before the emergence of civilization, although the "wild freedom" is basically worthless, as the individual was not able to protect her. That freedom was not based on any signs of guilty, people could do anything pursuing their own interests. But as soon as society increases sense of guilty increases too imposing more responsibility on individuals. Freud implied that sense of guilt because of interaction with people and ambivalence of feeling towards them becomes stronger and more intense. Aggressiveness that wants to direct on others becomes internalized and strengthen our Super-Ego, making it stronger with each generation and restricting our desires to throw out aggression. Eventually Civilization becomes, in the form of Super-Ego, the most serious tyrant that controls all our desires and thoughts and makes us less egoistic imposing the sense of guilt on us. Every individual becomes the part of whole community that should keeps his own ego in itself. So, the main point of this piece of the text is that the sense of guilt directly connected with relationships between people, which consists of love and hatred. In the case of hatred, it leads to the appearance of aggressiveness, but love prevents it and direct latter to our conscience, consequently to the sense of guilt strengthening it. As a result, with increasing of surrounding us people guilt as the procreation of that conflict becomes more intense and it passes through many generations ahead.
