Document Summary

For political and practical reasons, nurture often gets extra credit. In reality, nurture is what we can control more easily than nature, so we tend to focus on it more. You need both, they are both equally important. By then [1935] it seemed clear to us that the further study of inborn differences would have to wait for less troubled times. The id represents the basic urges (seeing someone hot and wanting to rip your clothes off and having fun) (also known as the pleasure principle). The ego represents the rational component of the mind. There is a conflict with the ego trying to control the id and the superego tries to make sure that fits one"s morals. Freud believed that development progressed through different stages. Stages were universal in existence and in their order. Success in a stage was not required for passing on to a later stage. Changes in one"s environment and maturation leads to stage progression.
