Need help with this homework thinking question (about opportunity costs) Sigmund Freud, in his 1930 essay Civilization and Its Discontents, argues that thesublimation of sexual desire leads to the mental energy required for advances in civiliza-tion: science, art, politics, etc. He writes,“Sublimation of instinct [such as sexual instinct] is an especially conspicu-ous feature of cultural development; it is what makes it possible for higherpsychical activities, scientific, artistic, or ideological, to play such an impor-tant part in civilized life... it is impossible to overlook the extent to whichcivilization is built up upon a renunciation of instinct...” How would an economist phrase Freud’s argument, in terms of opportunity costs?

In this chapter on page 61 the passage describes British scholar W. D. Ross, who rejected utilitarianism as an ethical approach. Ross felt that utilitarianism was too simplistic and did not align with how people ordinarily think about morality and obligations in real-world situations. The quote indicates that while utilitarianism provides a basic framework, Ross believed a more complex account was needed to capture ethics adequately in a diverse society. Different normative theories have their strengths and limitations, and reasonable people can disagree on these complex philosophical issues. Essentially, I believe in the golden rule which encourages people to have empathy, goodwill, and respect toward all others. It promotes ethical and considerate behavior by appealing to our own self-interest in fair and compassionate treatment. please help resond to this discussion post
