Freud did not believe there is any supernatural force that affects the way we think or has pre-programmed us to behave in a certain way.

- 9. Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality argues that human behavior is the result of the interactions among three component parts of mind: the id, ego, & superego. The theory places grate emphasis on the role of unconscious psychological conflicts in shaping behavior and personality.

Freud explained id makes people engage in need- satisfying behavior with and with any accordance to what is right or wrong. Id is like a child, e.g. (ice-cream)
- 14. The ego is responsible for creating balance between pleasure and pain. Ego is opposite of id, which focuses on morality & justice. The ego is judgement portion of the personality. Ego is partly conscious and partly unconscious Freud named it as “self”.
- 15. The superego, which develops around age four or five, incorporates the morals of society. Superego has the ability to distinguish between reality as well as what is right and wrong. Freud believed people would act out with aggression and other immoral behaviors because the mind would have no way of understanding the difference between right and wrong.
