Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Frithjof Bergmann argues that our culture has a schizophrenic view of freedom, meaning that we simultaneously value and desire freedom, but also prioritize and encourage conformity and dependence on institutional structures. Our culture pushes the idea of individualism and personal freedom, while at the same time enforcing conformity and dependence on institutions like work, government, and education. This creates a contradictory and unstable environment in which people are often torn between their desire for freedom and their need for security and stability.
