What are freud's philosophies?

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was a big believer in the unconscious mind ruling and affecting our actions Freud was awarded a fellowship to study with Jean Charcot (a famous french Neurologist) treating patients with conversion hysteria (physical symptoms such as paralysis and blindness appearing suddenly and with no apparent physical cause). It was this work that convinced Freud that their symptoms were connected with painful memories and feelings that seemed to have been repressed without awareness developing one of his theories of psychoanalysis Freud then believed that the unconscious part of our minds greatly influenced our behaviour Id is thought to exist in our unconscious minds as the inner most core of the personality. Id has no direct contact with reality and functions in a totally irrational manner operating according to the pleasure principle which seeks immediate gratification or release.

The ego functioning on the reality principle is present in the conscious level. Ego decides when and under what conditions id can safely discharge its impulses and needs delaying gratification. Finally the superego acting as a moral arm practices self control and strives to control sexual and aggressive impulses existing in id.

The struggle between these structures of personality causes anxiety.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
