Freud's theory proposes that the id operates according to pleasure, the ego balances id desires with reality, and the superego incorporates societal morals. Cooley argued that individuals and society are inseparable, with society providing the mirror for one's self-image through the reactions of others. Mead believed that socialization leads people to internalize social expectations and norms, allowing them to anticipate and conform to the roles and behaviors of others.

Id- unconscious, works according to the pleasure principle (the idea that all needs should be met immediately) People are born with sex drives (sex and aggression) that leads to a constant tension between the individual and the society 2. Ego- conscious, makes the decisions, operates according to the reality principle (desires of the id must be satisfied in a method that is both socially appropriate and realistic) 3.
