to remember and observe
The ID, the most primitive of the three structures, is
concerned with instant gratification of basic physical needs
and urges. It operates entirely unconsciously (outside of
conscious thought)

The EGO is the rational, pragmatic part of our

personality. It is less primitive than the id and is
partly conscious and partly unconscious.

The SUPEREGO is concerned with social rules and

morals—similar to what many people call their ”
conscience ” or their “moral compass.”
 The id, ego, and superego:
According to Freud’s structural
model, the personality is divided
into the id, ego, and superego.
