United States (Reconstruction to present). DOK 2
Relationship to Unit
The development of industry in Europe and the
United States leads to the search for more resources
to fuel their economies. For Europeans, that requires
the extraction of resources in other areas of the
world do to the lack of resources in Europe. The
search and extraction of resources leads to the
takeover of foreign lands and cultures by European
aggressors.

SS-HS-5.3.3 Students will analyze how an Age of

development of the modern state) that shaped the
modern world, and evaluate the long range impact of
these changes on the modern world. DOK 3
The search for raw materials to fuel the industrial
complex of the western world set off a change of
events that let to the rise and fall of nations, the
destruction of cultures, and a fight to save the native
way of life.
The age of industry brought on a wave of scientific
developments that shaped the modern world. For
example in the 1890’s the main form of
transportation was the horse. 30 years later the
main form of transportation was the automobile.
Only 20 years later, humans are flying rockets. The
rate of change creates a new global culture that
shapes modern politics and economics.

spurred even greater advances in technology, science, and economic growth. The growth of industry was
attempting to make life easier however it was a long way away from proving enough technology and jobs for
everyone. Many people were still suffering and looked for alternate ways to cope with their suffering.

The Unconscious Mind
Prompt:
The scientific theories of the 1800’s prompted scholars to study human society and behavior in a
scientific way. Psychology is the study of the human mind and behavior and many psychologists believed
that human behavior was a reaction to physical surroundings and in some form humans react to
different situations without their control. The period of Industrial Revolution led to what scholars
believed as the dawn of a new age in human behavior.
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)
http://www.iep.utm.edu/f/freud.htm#H3
Directions
 Read the following explanation of Sigmund Freud’s theory of the unconscious

Watch the M.A.S.H. Episode “Dear Sigmund”

Answer the following question in one paragraph
Explain how Freud’s view on the subconscious is a product of the Industrial Revolution. (Hint:
Don’t forget what living in an industrial city was like during the Late 1800’s)
Rubric
In order to receive credit the essay must have the following:
1 . The paragraph must be in correct format with an introduction, explanations, examples, analysis, and
conclusion
2. Paragraph does not have to discuss the M.A.S.H. episode or Freud’s theory directly but needs to give
an explanation of why theories such as this developed during the time period of the Industrial
Revolution.
3. The Theory of the Unconscious
Freud's theory of the unconscious, then, is highly deterministic, a fact which, given the nature of
nineteenth century science, should not be surprising. Freud was arguably the first thinker to
apply deterministic principles systematically to the sphere of the mental, and to hold that the
broad spectrum of human behavior is explicable only in terms of the (usually hidden) mental
processes or states which determine it. Thus, instead of treating the behavior of the neurotic as
being causally inexplicable - which had been the prevailing approach for centuries - Freud
insisted, on the contrary, on treating it as behavior for which is meaningful to seek an
explanation by searching for causes in terms of the mental states of the individual concerned.
Hence the significance which he attributed to slips of the tongue or pen, obsessive behavior, and
dreams - all, he held, are determined by hidden causes in the person's mind, and so they reveal in
covert form what would otherwise not be known at all. This suggests the view that freedom of
the will is, if not completely an illusion, certainly more tightly circumscribed than is commonly
believed, for it follows from this that whenever we make a choice we are governed by hidden
mental processes of which we are unaware and over which we have no control.
The postulate that there are such things as unconscious mental states at all is a direct function of
Freud's determinism, his reasoning here being simply that the principle of causality requires that
such mental states should exist, for it is evident that there is frequently nothing in the conscious
mind which can be said to cause neurotic or other behavior. An 'unconscious' mental process or
event, for Freud, is not one which merely happens to be out of consciousness at a given time, but
is rather one which cannot, except through protracted psychoanalysis, be brought to the forefront
of consciousness. The postulation of such unconscious mental states entails, of course, that the
mind is not, and cannot be, identified with consciousness or that which can be an object of
consciousness - to employ a much-used analogy, it is rather structurally akin to an iceberg, the
bulk of it lying below the surface, exerting a dynamic and determining influence upon the part
which is amenable to direct inspection, the conscious mind.
Deeply associated with this view of the mind is Freud's account of the instincts or drives. The
instincts, for Freud, are the principal motivating forces in the mental realm, and as such they
'energies' the mind in all of its functions. There are, he held, an indefinitely large number of such
instincts, but these can be reduced to a small number of basic ones, which he grouped into two
broad generic categories, Eros (the life instinct), which covers all the self-preserving and erotic
instincts, and Thanatos (the death instinct), which covers all the instincts towards aggression,
self-destruction, and cruelty. Thus it is a mistake to interpret Freud as asserting that all human
actions spring from motivations which are sexual in their origin, since those which derive from
Thanatos are not sexually motivated - indeed, Thanatos is the irrational urge to destroy the
source of all sexual energy in the annihilation of the self. Having said that, it is undeniably true
that Freud gave sexual drives an importance and centrality in human life, human actions, and
human behavior which was new (and to many, shocking), arguing as he does both that the sexual
drives exist and can be discerned in children from birth (the theory of infantile sexuality), and
that sexual energy (libido) is the single most important motivating force in adult life. However,
even here a crucial qualification has to be added - Freud effectively redefined the term 'sexuality'
here to make it cover any form of pleasure which is or can be derived from the body. Thus his
theory of the instincts or drives is essentially that the human being is energized or driven from
birth by the desire to acquire and enhance bodily pleasure.
