Chapter 14

Throughout this chapter I learned that the ego is a main part of how people think. The superego is basically the advisor of the ego because it controls the moral concious and that means it controls what you think about situations and more of the long term affects that your choices might have made. The ego is different because it really goes off of how high the anxiety levels of the choices you face are. If the options brings high anxiety level then it will push you more towards the less stressful option. I also learned that there are many defense mechanisms and some of them are repression, regression, projection, and displacement. They are all ways that people try to deal with the past or present problems that they face. Some involve hiding your past events that have occured and some make you act a great difference in your actual age. That is some of the stuff that I learned from this chapter.
