Question 1

Internal Social Control

Answer 1

Pressures from within yourself to conform to follow social norms and values e.g. Freud

Question 2

Internalisation of Moral (ISC)

Answer 2

Freud says that the Id (pleasure principle) causes you to act in instincts and desires from birth. This suggests all people are born evil and have the ability to commit crime. At the age of 5, we develop the superego to help understand morals (right vs wrong). When the aid and Superego fight against each other, it causes conflict, which makes us uncomfortable.

Question 4
