Freud viewed the primary motivating force for humans as the drive to be respected by their peers (and even further a desire to be respected by the elites who decide who is respectable or not).

What ought to motivate human behavior?

Human nature is the driving force. Humans are living creatures and all living creatures have the same innate driving forces; to support life (eat, drink, protection from the elements), to defend life (in humans the response to blink or duck are forms of that), and to reproduce (is it any wonder that sex sells, it's a force that will not be denied). Unless a persons nature has been distorted by circumstances or corrupting influences, most of everything that humans do can be traced back to these forces.


What is 3 basic components of freud's theory of personality develop?

Freud proposed that the personality consisted of three structures called the Id, Ego and Superego. Each of these structures is responsible for some aspect of our thinking and behavior.Id = represents our wants, desires, instant gratification, etc. We have no awareness of this part of our psyche, but it can be a driving force in our behavior. The Id is rooted in the desire for pleasure.Superego = represent the moralistic and parental side of our psyche. The supergo attempts to control our basic instincts but it too is outside of our conscious awareness.Ego - represents the rational part of our psyche. It is the closest of the three to our conscious awareness. Ego allows us to live in the world and balance the needs of our basic and instinctive wants and desires (id) and our moralistic and parental restrictions (superego).
