Psychology

Yesterday we talked about Sigmund Freud and his views on personality.  Freud believed that everyone has three parts to their personality; the id, the superego and the ego.  The id is responsible for our basic needs and is only concerned about itself.  The superego is only concerned about others and the ego is the balance between the two.  We talked about how we are all well balanced so our ego is the most dominant.  Although, I did mention that it they have ever pouted or thrown a tantrum to get their way, it was their id showing itself!

Today we continued talking about personality by discussing emotions and how they help make everyones personality different.
