Instruction: Answer what is being asked. Limit your answer to one paragraph only.

1. According to Freud, why does a person become too impulsive and pleasure-seeking when his
id overpowers his ego? Explain.
According to Freud a person become too impulsive and pleasure-seeking when his id
overpowers his ego because it is not easy for the ego to strike all the balance. The id is the
personality component made up of unconscious psychic energy that works to satisfy basic
urges, needs, and desires. The id operates on the pleasure principle. The balance that we strike
in any given situation determines how we will resolve the complicit between the two overarching
behavioural tendencies: our biological aggressive and pleasure seeking drives versus our
socialized internal control over those drives. If the id exerts too much power over the ego that’s
what the reason when the person become too impulsive and pleasure-seeking.

2. Why does the person become judgmental when his superego overpowers his ego according
to Freud? Explain.
According to Freud the person become judgmental when his superego overpowers his ego
because we influence on what one consider the right or wrong. It gives us confusion about it
and it makes the person feel bad through guilt. If the superego become strong, the person
would be driven by rigid morals, would be judgmental and unbending in his or her interactions
with the world.

operational stage.

2. What if I am living without my family what I am going to do?
3. What if money can’t buy the happiness?
4. What if you could shape your own future just as you wanted to be?
5. What if you could change one thing about the world what would it be?

4. Give one (1) illustration to describe centration. (Do not copy the illustration from our module).
Centration is the act of focusing all attention on one characteristic or dimension of a situation
while disregarding all others. For example a child that focusing on the number of pieces of cake
that each person has, regardless of the size of the pieces.

5. Give one (1) illustration to describe object permanence.

Object permanence means knowing that an object still exists, even if it is hidden. It requires the
ability to form a mental representation of the object. For example, if you have a toy under the
blanket, the child who has achieved object permanence knows it is there and can actively seek
it.
