Reflection paper 9

Freud’s theory is important because of all the reality that his theory brings whether you like it or not. When you really think about what Freud said in his theory, you will realize that there is a part of reality in his thoughts. For example, the facts that sex is one of the drives that motivate all thoughts, emotions and behavior really have a true meaning. Because if it wasn’t for sex will we have been in this world? Whether it is human or animals all depend on sex. As human, we leave and our races survive among sex because procreation is cause by sex with make life possible on earth. And animal make us survive by giving us food and with the sexual activities among them, the survival of animals species will be impossible. The other drives that Freud talked about are aggression and by aggression he meant the way we protect ourselves in order to survive. For instance, we go to school to learn and get a better education and we compete with others in order to have a wonderful life and take of our family, our life is all about survival and competition. Humans like to compete and usually want to accomplish the best of our lives.
Freud’s theory also talks about Structural Model which includes id, ego, and superego. By id I meant everything that a new born does unconsciously in order to satisfy his or her needs. By ego he meant everything that you know how to control and, you starting to know what are right or what are wrong. Ego should be the strongest in anyone life. By superego he meant that the individual had knowledge over ethic and basically wants to analyze every situation.
Freud also mentions the Topographical Model, which talk about the conscious and the unconscious. The conscious is everything that you have knowledge of doing and the unconscious is everything else in you life that you have never experience or that you do not know about.
