The rationality of Freud’s theories about the id, the ego, and the superego stems from the fact that they offer a useful framework for comprehending human psychology in its entirety. According to Freud, the id represents human’s most basic, primal impulses and inclinations. It bases itself on the pleasure principle, which seeks out immediate gratification without consideration for consequences or morality. The ego, however, strives to mitigate the urges of the id through the constraints of reality. The superego functions as the internalized sense of moral compass; an individual’s society and upbringing lately shapes this. It endeavors to maintain moral and ethical standards, usually by repressing the urges of the id. These three factors assist humans in understanding their reasons for having peculiar desires or guilt about certain behaviors. Additionally, psychoanalytic therapy has helped countless individuals acquire insight into their own psychological processes, as well as make positive alterations to their lifestyles to combat any negative activity. Freud held the view that these three factors clashed with one another in such a paradoxically complimentary way that they cultivated intellect and sanity.]]> 2023-04-06 08:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2546061559 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2546062240 One of the most notable aspects of Sigmund Feud’s psychoanalytic theory includes his concept of the superego. The part of the human psyche known as the superego constitutes internalized moral and ethical values, as well as social and cultural standards and models. It modulates an individual’s thoughts and behavior, and greatly contributes to the development of the conscience. The superego holds vast importance because it plays a vital role in sculpting an individual’s personality and behavior, which inadvertently determines their level of morality and ethicality in regards to decision-making. Freud’s concept of the superego evidently revolutionized scientist’s understanding of human psychology, which will never cease to find applicability in the human world, and the science realm.

I believe that the ego plays an important role as it maintains mental balance by mediating the id and superego. The id seeks instant gratification as it fulfills a person’s unconscious desires whereas the superego seeks social acceptance and rebuts the id’s desires. However, the ego rationalizes between the two to make a conscious decision that displays both fulfillment and moral standards. Without the ego, a person’s mental system becomes unbalanced because the id and superego work against each other to overpower the other. Consequently, it remains crucial that the ego intervene to establish equilibrium between the demands of the id and superego. Ego maintains a person’s perception of reality and the outside world so that pleasure (id) and guilt (superego) does not overly influence decisions. The ego allows a person to plan the consequences of the id and superego’s demands before coming to a reasonable conclusion. Unlike, the selfish nature of the id or the superego’s desire for social acceptance, the ego maintains a person's fulfillment in life by turning plans into actions. Therefore, I believe the ego remains important because it balances the unconscious mind to reflect rational decision-making.]]> 2023-04-09 03:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2547821365 5767661 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2547832296 Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory remains reasonable as the id, ego, and superego coexist in the human mind. The id, ego, and superego each have specific functions that drive human behavior through unconscious thoughts. The id strives for instant human satisfaction that seeks pleasure despite consequences or moral ethics. For instance, a teenager that wants to sneak out of his parent’s house to go to a party demonstrates the wants of his id. On the other hand, the superego strives to maintain socially acceptable behavior and prompts the teenager to think about the consequences of sneakings out to a party. Consequently, the Ego establishes a middle ground between the two and makes a decision based on the reality of the situation. Thus, the teen may choose to ask for permission to go to the party rather than sneaking out to fulfill both his desire to go to the party (id) and his parent’s acceptance (superego). Thus, Freud’s theory aligns with human psychology to display reasonability because the id, ego, and superego influence people’s decisions throughout life. Without a balance between the three, a person may develop psychological dysfunctions.]]> 2023-04-09 04:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2547832296 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549298151 Freud’s theory of the id, ego, and superego create pathways to understand the human mind better. As I reflect on Freud’s theory I find his descriptions intriguing and capable of holding truth. For instance, his theory of id, ego, and superego all play roles in the mind creating an equilibrium. The id’s role displays primitive actions that humans want to pursue in order to receive gratitude or pleasure. The superego stands in as the id’s opposite as it takes on the role of moral judgment of self and others. The ego’s responsibility then lies in establishing a compromise between each the id and superego with hopes of establishing an equilibrium in the mind. Consequently, I feel like I see many and myself included in these categorizations as I feel like at times I succumb to my id or superego. In addition, a main example of this categorization lies in the example of the devil and angel on the shoulder, which the media has portrayed in many instances. In the instance of the devil and angel on the shoulder, the superego plays as the angel, the id as the devil, and the person as our conscious side, the ego. Consequently, Freud’s theories align greatly with human behavior and allow for a greater analysis of human behavior.  ]]> 2023-04-10 22:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549298151 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549298463 A section of Freud’s theory that I found really intriguing includes the theory of the id. Sigmund Freud illustrates the id as a human's most primitive desire which seeks gratification and pleasure. In this instance, the ego battles against the id as it seeks gratification then and there like a spoiled child. Consequently, Frankenstein fell at the hands of his id on various occasions to the point of going mad in order to achieve his desire for rejuvenating life. Furthermore, I find it interesting that someone, which society would label a genius, expresses his humanity in a manner that he can also fall to human desires. In reflection, the id has the power to overpower even those that seem invincible as the ego weakens.

The superego was the most interesting. I learned that the superego is our inner critic or judge. The purpose of the superego is to contain any instincts you may have. An example of this would be you are shopping and have the thought of stealing candy, but your superego tells you that stealing is morally wrong, so you don’t. The superego is an essential part of everyone's lives because, without the superego, there would be many more crimes. Now that I have learned about the superego, I know what helps me control myself when I want to do something wrong. ]]> 2023-04-11 03:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549566194 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549577413 Freud’s theory relates that each person makes decisions based upon that of their id, ego, and superego that develop from their young days unconsciously or consciously according to the environment they have grown in. Each one has a different role concerning human behavior that allows for people to understand human behavior in literature and such. The role of the id comes from that of wanting a certain person, object, and such right now. It’s like when a child wants to go on a trip, but their parents do not want to in which the child continues asking her parents since she wants to go on it that year and not another year. While the superego deflects the id in which it’s the reflection of what the person has seens as morally and socially acceptable per the situation they present themselves in. For example, if a child wants to drink beer since in a party he’s currently offering alcoholic drinks. He might have the impulse to want to try it, but it wouldn’t morally be right since you can only drink once you're 21 depending on the state or country one resides in and he might think about what if I disappoint my parents by presenting myself drunk once at home. His superego was at work here since if he drinks it he might feel guilty since he’s breaking the law and his parents might not approve of his conduct. Lastly, the ego becomes the middle ground person that focuses on reality and what’s presently happening around the person. Back to the example of the child deciding to drink in which the id wants to, but the superego interferes that it’s not morally right, but he still at least wants to taste a single drop since he’s there and other child have drink in which that’s the ego a compromise between the superego and id. This theory in the end is reasonable since for me I have a tendency to fall to my id, but the one that usually reasons me out tends to go that of the superego or my sister since she lays my options in the open which I tend to concede to her. In addition, others in their daily life think of decisions in which it gets impacted through what they see, their environment, and such that influence their id, ego, and superego. ]]> 2023-04-11 03:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549577413 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549591003 From the Freudian theory of the id, ego, and superego that we unconsciously make our decision from an instance per situation. I find the id interesting since it’s the baby of the family of three since when it wants a person, object, or goal they will incessantly go for it and they sometimes develop irrational moments just for the purpose of obtaining their wants which sometimes transverse human understanding. In addition, the id can go as far as not feeling horrible for stealing since the person was able to obtain the object or such that allowed them to feel pleasure. At times when restraints appear such as parents not allowing their children to eat candy in which this deprivation can sometimes lead to an obsession towards that subject and get drunk on it. I found it interesting that the id without proper development of the superego and ego can deteriorate a human being to commit inappropriate and at times devastating actions. ]]> 2023-04-11 03:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549591003 574576 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549600782 Freud’s theory that the Id, ego, and superego influence human behavior seems to be reasonable. Factors like unconscious memories, thoughts, and urges influence human behavior. The Id, ego, and superego work together to make a human's behavior work. The Id is more of the impulsive part of us, the superego is the moral part of us, and the ego represents reality. An example of Id would be that you want ice cream immediately but do not think about the consequences.  An example of ego would be wanting to take your mom's necklace but knowing she will get mad, so instead, you ask if you can borrow the necklace.  An example of a superego would be that you are taking a test and do not know the answer, so you want to cheat, but you don’t because it is morally wrong. The superego starts to develop at the age of 5. Freud’s theory has helped scientists understand in the way of how the human mind works. ]]> 2023-04-11 03:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549600782 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549615152 I found Freuds theory of the id fascinating. Sigmund Freud refers to the id as "a primitive part of the personality that pursues only pleasure and instant gratification". Due to this, the ego goes against the id in order to receive pleasure. This creates a relation to Frankenstein as he was a victim to his id when he was creating his fiend and ended up turning out the complete opposite of what he thought would be the outcome. I find it amusing that Victors mind would fall into the hands of the id as he was a mastermind, where as a genius he would be less likely to fall into gratification as the id does and not the ego which is what I would expect. The id took over Victors ego and caused even a mastermind to block out his ego, creating a powerful strength over the mind.]]> 2023-04-11 03:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549615152 577369 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549810617 While understanding the human mind, Sigmund Freud established three units within the brain that cause the fluctuation of humanity’s emotional complexity. The id relfies on the indulgence of pure pleasure while the superego confines an individual to self-deprecating behavior. Accordingly, too much of the id or superego ruins a person’s emotional stability; therefore, the ego serves the purpose of providing equilibrium amongst its two counterparts. When analyzing Victor Frankenstein, he transitions from the id of his childhood obsession to the superego overwhelming his character as a person, ultimately torturing his mind. The presence of the ego does not emerge within Victor’s mind which results in the neurotic symptom. Because of his weakened ego, the scientist’s dreams expose the repressed wish of his mother’s nurture which conflicts with the love of his companion, Elizabeth. Reaching near the end of the novel, Victor transitions once more to the id to nourish his unconscious desire in trade for his wife’s life. Without accountability, Victor acknowledges the consequences of marrying Elizabeth considering his neurotic symptom responds with slips of his speech. The ego supplies an individual with the capability to maintain balance in his or her mind. Searching for compromises finds a middle ground for the id and the superego to thrive in harmony. Similarly to the Fiend Victor constructed, his unnatural being reflects upon his unnatural, unbalanced mentality that affects his livelihood as a scientist, a father, and a husband.]]> 2023-04-11 07:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549810617 577369 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549823282 When reflecting on the superego, this rational part of the brain stimulates this overwhelming guilt for an individual to divulge his or herself in. Starkly contrasting the id, the superego strives to conform a person into acceptable behavior in society. Although this acceptable outcome pleases the superego, uneasiness and nervousness fogs the mind in the process. For Victor Frankenstein, he satisfies his superego to the point he continuously condemns his humanity and the inability to simply reject his obsession. Freud perceived the superego as this moral balance that deciphers views as either entirely correct or incorrect. Although many individuals will feel the guilt, the underlying reason for this emotion stems from the superego suppressing the id. Therefore, the person feels involved in morally wrong behavior without a particular reason as to why this emotion emerged. Remorse manifests within an individual’s dream because of the weakened ego. Consequently, the forbidden wishes arise to showcase this feeling of deep regret and dissatisfaction. For Victor and other humans with a similar mindset, the superego serves as a harmful mentality that will disrupt the process of reaching equilibrium and peace in the brain.]]> 2023-04-11 07:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549823282 577369 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549836362  Freud's Psychoanalysis Theory and his perception of dreams reason for the many dilemmas of understanding the deep reason for a person's actions. In particular, the explanation of the Odious Complex accurately describes this desire for many children to reach for their parental figures. The difference of love with mothers foster this unconscious infatuation that overpowers the id, ego, and superego. For instance, Victor Frankenstein dreams of his beloved, Elizabeth, with affection, but the moment he embraces his lover she disintegrates to the corpse of his mother (Shelly 51-52). The dream reveals Victor's true conflict of yearning for the love of his mother, and he will receive her nurture once his fiancé ceases from existence. Freud's theory explains many phenomenons of aggravated desires, reasons for mental health, and obsessive expectations for perfection. Overwhelming guilt and infatuation contribute to negative consequences for the human mind, so the rationality of the ego balances these demands. Like Earth, nature strives for balance with methods such as natural selection. For humans, receiving peace configures from the possibility of allowing the ego to maintain the natural balance of life; Freud's views serve as reasonable theories for an individual's mind.]]> 2023-04-11 07:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2549836362 5841191 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2550572060 The Sugerego sends a signal of overwhelming sense of guilt. This part of the brain actually benefits the person experiencing the influence of the superego because it stops them from further damage to their self. Another word for the superego is conviction because it maintains the moral values of the person. I can relate with the convictions. The ego remains the selfish part of a humans brain. It acts as the devious part that only wants to fulfill their desires. In addition, the Id remains the mediator between the two parts running straight into any situation. I found this theorem to be very interesting because I can relate to most of them, especially the superego. The superego helps me to maintain my moral values.]]> 2023-04-11 18:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2550572060 5841191 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2550595675 Frued's notion makes complete sense when compared to real world scenarios. In comparison to Frankenstein, he realizes that the fiend serves as something that does not fulfill his superego. His superego tells him that he needs to be perfect and so abandons the fiend. In addition, the ID in  Frankenstein also influenced him to act quickly again abandoning the fiend. I find Freud's notion interesting because everybody experiencing any decisions face inner battles within themselves. As more people are aware with the reason to their battles within, they can be helped by addressing the suppressing issues.]]> 2023-04-11 18:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2550595675 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2551232560 My understanding of Freud's psychoanalytic theory says that the ego is the realistic component of the mind that mediates between the impulses of the id and the super-ego. The super-ego serves as a moral conscience, while the id is the instinctual, primal part of the mind that contains hidden memories and violent instincts.]]> 2023-04-12 06:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2551232560 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2551237974 I believe that Freuds theory is reasonable because Mary Shelley present Victor as a scientist who creates a creature that he disowns. Victor disowns his creation due to the fact that Victor feels bad about creating a new life without making plans to care for the "monster" when he gives the creature a chance to live. He flees from his conscience and creation out of disgust and dread, and because he did not meet up to Victors standards. ]]> 2023-04-12 06:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2551237974 https://padlet.com/sharonrowland/36o5k2c5zjft7d9c/wish/2551293836 After further analyzing the psychoanalitic theory, I understand that the ego refers to being the most commonly used throughout the human mind. Individuals tend to be aware of reality and the consequences that come with their actions.
