Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic personality theory talks about the three parts of the human personality- the id, ego, and superego. The id operates on the pleasure principle and demands immediate gratification. The ego refers to the psychological component of the personality that is represented by our conscious decision-making process. The superego, on the other hand, is the psychological component of the personality that is represented by internalized ideals acquired from our parents and society. The superego comprises of two systems: the conscience and the ideal self. The superego if developed properly works to suppress the urges of the id and tries to make the ego behave morally, rather than realistically.
