Detailed Explanation & Solution
According to Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, personality is made up of three main components—Id, Ego, and Superego. The 'Id' operates entirely in the unconscious and is based on the 'Pleasure Principle'. The 'Superego' represents our moral values, ideals, and social conscience. To maintain a balance between these two opposing forces, the 'Ego' operates on the 'Reality Principle' and ensures that the individual's basic drives are satisfied in a socially acceptable and logical manner.
