[Pomegranate]

:crying: I can't do it. I have a 2000 word essay to write on 'Were Freud and Nietzsche trying to bring out 'the beast' in human nature?'

I don't know! I am going to fail...it's my first year. I already got a week extension and that was up today. Does ANYONE know ANYTHING About this that could help? Seriously ANYTHING? :crying:

For Nietzsche you could write about the loss of belief in God.
The birth of the "Enlightenment" and how that lead to the downfall of society,of the path towards it. Lack of belief in God and spirituality and the rise of self worth above all else and thus capitalism and things like that.

[Stellata]

Freud - The Id. [and bringing up what's repressed from the unconscious]
Nietzsche - Nihilism

Those are pretty good places to start...
