Sigmund Freud: A Psychological Analysis

For as long has the earth has been roamed by man, some questions has been asked time and again. Who are we? Where did we come from? We try to understand each other to the sake of getting along with each other better, as we are all quite different and unique. That means that no matter how far along we go into understanding the human psych, we will still have a long way to go.
But one great Scholar did find a way to categorize so we can have a better understanding. Sigmund Freud presented the structural model of the human Psych in three parts. Id, ego and super-ego.
The id: Saul McLeod who wrote on this topic for Simply Psycology defines id as the primitive and instinctive component of personality. It consists of all the inherited components

It is the decision making component of personality. Ideally the ego works by reason, whereas the id is totally unreasonable. The ego operates according to the reality principle, working out realistic ways of satisfying the id’s demands. The ego considers social realities and norms, etiquette and rules in deciding how to behave.
The Superego: The superego incorporates the values and morals of society which are learned from one 's parents and others. It develops around the age of 3 – 5 during the phallic stage of psychosexual development.The superego 's function is to control the id 's impulses, especially those which society forbids, such as sex and aggression. It also has the function of persuading the ego to turn to moralistic goals. The superego consists of two systems: The conscience and the ideal self. The conscience can punish the ego through causing feelings of guilt. For example, if the ego gives in to the id 's demands, the superego may make the person feel bad through guilt.

Freud (1933) hypothesizes different levels of ego ideal or superego development with increasingly greater

At the time at which the Oedipus complex gives place to the superego they are something quite magnificent; but later they lose much of this. Identifications then come about with these later parents as well, and indeed they regularly make important contributions to the formation of character; but in that case they only affect the ego, they no longer influence the superego, which has been determined by the earliest parental images.
— (The New Introductory Lectures, p. 64) Now if we put this theory to our everyday actions, it becomes much clearer. So we take a simple example of id we could say that "Ayesha was thirsty. Rather than waiting for the server to refill her glass of water, she reached across the table and drank from Mr. Ali’s water glass, much to his surprise". So now we know that id are the basic needs of a human and if these needs are not met, we become tense or even anxious. So now if in ego we deal with the reality then it would become "Ayesha was thirsty. However, she knew that her server would be back soon to refill her water glass, so she waited until then to get a drink, even though she really just wanted to drink from Mr. Ali’s
