Answer:
- Phallic
Explanation:
A psychoanalyst would reflect Amber's and Jerome's issues as displaying fixation at the 'phallic stage' as they display an exhibitionistic and sexually aggressive tendency. Amber has developed the Electra complex(sexual attraction and affection towards male parent or similar) while Jerome develops the Oedipus complex(sexual attraction and love for the female parent) in Freudian terms.
The Phallic stage is the third stage in Freud's theory of psychosexual development. In this stage, the child develops an erotic attraction towards the opposite sex parent and stands as a rival to the same-sex parent. In this case, Jerome is dating the women who are like his mother while Amber dates men of her father's age.
According to the article "Lifeboat Ethics," the idea that one person taking more than his or her fair share of something can ruin the system for everyone is called THE TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS.
It is brought about when the right to use a common resource is not matched by the corresponding responsibility to protect said resource.
