is I think is obvious. The feelings we have must beexpressed and released and we direct our feelings outward.This becomes our aggression toward others. Freud's viewon the mind is in the shape of an iceberg. He believes thatmankind's mind works in the unconscious, which I do notagree with at all I feel that man is mostly conscious when itcomes to behaviors. Every choice that mankind makes heis aware of, but maybe the consequences of our actionmight be unknown. The Structure of Personality which is another interestingpart of Freud's theory basically states that we have an ID, aSuperego and an Ego. The ID is a biological reservoir ofurges and impulses that need to be gratified. He says the IDdoes not have a conscious, it acts on instinct. It seeks outgratification and pleasure. It is the pleasure principle. TheSuperego is the Morality Principle, and the Superegoknows the difference between right and wrong. TheSuperego is a bunch of learned internalized morals andvalues of society. This is basically the thing that keeps theID in check. Freud said that Superego is our conscious,and that the Superego is the most powerful tool (guilt andpride). Last but not least is the Ego, which is the realityprinciple. The Ego finds socially acceptable ways to satisfythe ID. It finds the balance between the ID and reality. Thefunctions of the Ego is to find a compromise between theID and the Superego. The Ego must also learn to deal withanxiety, and it also helps to boost the self-esteem. Withoutthe Ego there would be no mental health. I completelyagree with Freud's theory of the Structure of Personalitybecause I feel we have different parts of our behavior thatwe can control and that we are conscious about and thereare other behaviors that come directly from ourunconscious. Our ego lies to us, denies, falsifies, anddistorts reality which in turn causes us to create what Freudlikes to call the seven defense mechanisms. The first of the seven defense mechani...
