The id is pretty much the pleasure principle. It is the selfish side of you and is also called your wild side. The super ego is the morality principle. It is the bossy and rigid side of your personality. These two class against each other constantly. The ego is the reality principle. It mediates between the id and the super ego to get a balance between the two.

Can a child get a id before ten?

Id is always there! Its innate and can only be controlled through the 'Ego' balancing out the 'Id' and the 'Super Ego'. So to answer the question directly: Yes, a child has an 'Id' already! It is only through our morals i.e 'Super Ego' that we learn to control the 'Id'.

Where did the word ego originate from?

The word ego is the Latin form of the first person singular pronoun. It derives from the Indo-European root eg, which appears in English as I and in German as ichThe technical term ego came from Dr. Sigmund Freud as part of his theory concerning human behavior and repressed urges. His theory states that people have an id, ego, and super ego. The ego is part of the id and it represses infantile urges by the id. At a later stage the super ego develops out of the ego determining what is acceptable to the ego and what needs to be repressed. Repressions disappear from consciousness but live in the id. The job of the psychoanalysis is to uncover the repressions for what they are and to replace them by acts of judgement.


What part of personality concerned with what is right and wrong?

Id, ego and super-ego are the three parts of the psychic apparatus defined in Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche; they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction mental life is described. According to this model of the psyche, the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the ego is the organized, realistic part; and the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role. Thus the Super-Ego is responsible for what is right and wrong.

What makes up a person's personality?

The Psychological answer is two things. You're ID and EGO. Your ID is what you are, your existence, if you like. Your EGO is what you think you are. We are all made up of our experience and upbringing (ID) and also our self perception (EGO).


Is george and Lennie a id or an super ego from the book Of Mice and Men and why?

Lennie is effectively the ID, wanting maximised pleasure and minimised discomfort. The fact that the ID is present in children most strongly reinforces this points, because Lennie is mildly retarded, so often very childish.George is more complex; on the one hand, he could be seen as the Ego, and perhaps reality as the Super Ego, but it can also be argued in reverse. If the former is argued, then George would be the Ego as he reconciles Lennie's hopes with the stark reality, being that his hopes cannot all be true. Furthermore, when the Ego has the job of, in the human mind, covering up the ID's breakings of social norms, and this is very similar to the George's own job in Of Mice and Men. Furthermore, this quote from wikipedia (yeah, I know, but still, it's really a paraphrasing of Freud's own statement) proves the point further, and shows, to me at least, that George is probable the Ego. "Ego, driven by ID, confined by super-ego, repulsed by reality, struggles to bring harmony about" (that isn't even the actual quote, thank you very much :D).Clearly, this has a lot of gaps that even I'm not happy with. I do believe that Lennie is the Ego and George the ID, but I'm not sure for the super-ego. Hope this helped. TVC11CVT
