Answer:

Sublimation

Step-by-step explanation:

People tends to have thoughts, feelings, impulses, and memories that can be difficult to deal with. In psychoanalytic theory, Sublimation is a defense mechanism in which people metamorphose or modify their hindered and inconsistent challenged emotions or unacceptable impulses into a social behavioral way that is accepted and profitable. For example, an individual that is always aggressive over the slightest little mistake or argument can take up a military school to join the troop of an army. He can use his role as a soldier as an outlet to vent his aggression and frustration into socially acceptable ways by dealing with those who fails to comply to the law.
