religion of Buddhism has gone through many
changes. One example of how Buddhism changed is

something. Everyone believes that they can make a
difference. This manner of critical thinking

Freud's Civilization and its Discontents How did
Freud understand a man? He considered a man
neither tabula rasa, nor inherently good or
inherently evil. The concept of human nature,
developed by Freud's theory, has become the most
serious indictment of Western civilization and at
the same time it has become its most reliable
defense. Freud understood man's character as a
continuum of behavior on an axis between mutually
dependent and at the same time diametrically
opposed parts of his rational ...
