the ID the EGO the SUPEREGO

THE ID According to Freud, we are born with our ID. The id is an important part of our personality because as newborns, it allows us to get our basic needs met such as feeding etc. Freud believed that the id wants whatever feels good at the time, not thinking about the negative implications the id doesn't care about reality nor the needs of anyone else only about itself if u think about it babies don't care about parents wishes nor time EXAMPLES weather parent or sleeping,relaxing,eating or bathing when the id wants something nothing else is important. THE EGO Within the next three years, the ego is the second part of the personality begins to develop. it is based on the reality The ego understands that other people have needs and desires and that sometimes without careful though or selfish can hurt us in the long run. Its the ego's job to meet the needs of the id, while taking into consideration the reality of the situation. THE SUPEREGO by the age of five the Superego develops. The Superego is the moral side than consider the right from wrong and it limits and control over your emotions or behavior that is placed on us by our caregiver In a healthy person, according to Freud, the ego is the strongest so that it can satisfy the needs of the id, not upset the superego, and still take into consideration the reality of every situation. Not an easy job by any means, but if the id gets too strong, impulses and self gratification take over the person's life. If the superego becomes to strong, the person would be driven by rigid morals, would be judgmental and unbending in his or her interactions with the world.
