Freud’s Contributions to Western Society Sigmund Freud’s (1856–1939) history is not interesting if not related to psychoanalysis, given the fact that he said this himself. This tells us that the event of his life weren’t important, but his magnificent activity on the realm of psychoanalysis. But in knowing this, a completely different biography emerges once psychoanalysis is applied to his life’s events. This biography would care less about the truth behind his life, but would particularly pinpoint the hidden meaning behind the discoveries which took place in Freud’s life (Sigmund Freud’s Childhood). Freud was born in Freiberg , Moravia, Czech Republic, in the year 1856. From early on in his life, he was a troublemaker, wreaking all sorts of havoc in his household; however, the apple didn’t fall to far from the tree as he was very similar to his father. Freud often got himself into trouble by doing the silliest things just to get his parents angry. A moment of realization for him was one day in which he was scolded by his father and heard the words, "There will come nothing of this boy!" Those words remained in the back of his head for the rest of his lifetime, this became his fuel, what drove him to become great (Sigmund Freud’s Childhood). He was raised in a Czech society where Jews spoke German, and most people were assimilated with the Austro-Hungarian ruling class of that time. Although there was discrimination. Freud went through an unpleasant moment himself. As he walked in the town with his father, a near pedestrian aggressively yelled at him to get off the sidewalk Gutierrez 2 using the word “Jew” as an insult.
