Sociology Semester 3

Write down 5 examples for Sigmund Freud Elements of

Personality according to Id, Ego and Superego.

Id:

 Most basic part of the personality.

 It deals our most basic urges without which survival of life is

impossible.

Examples

 Maria was literally starving. Instead of waiting for the food to be

served, she reached across the table and started eating from the

dish without caring about anyone.

 A hungry baby cried until he was fed.

 A toddler who wanted another helping of dessert whined

incessantly until she was given another serving.

 In line at the salad bar, Ali was so hungry that he shoved a handful

of croutons in his mouth as he waited for the line to move.

 Ahmed got stuck in traffic. He just wanted his vehicle to move!

Enraged at the situation, Ahmad pulled his car onto the shoulder

and sped forward, not caring that he was clipping people's side

mirrors as he tried to get ahead of the cars in front of him.
