Man and His Personality.

in #partiko4 years ago

They lot of factors that determines if man will have a healthy or good personality or a bad personality. Good personality in the sense that he his honest, faithful and loyal in what he does and bad personality is the bad acts in his character. In explaining human Personality, it goes beyond seeing a person every day and concluding that he has a certain type of personality. Personality can be gotten from outside like through what a person sees and which to become but is mostly inbuilt and the depends on some factors of life. I want to use the case study of a Sigmund Freud, Sigmund Freud was a medical doctor but he discovered that not all problems are done through medical line so he introduced psychology to his work, he concluded that man's personality is determined through three unconscious mental process that are biological in nature and unresolved childhood conflict which in later years causes the personality of an individual.
Starting with the three mental process he grouped them into ID, EGO AND SUPER EGO. The stated that the ID is the desire that is all wanting, the ID makes an individual always wanting more even in the bad way, the ID desire are ever endless. Then he moved to the EGO he stated that the EGO tends to corrects the ID, it gives possible ways to the ID for instance a person ID tells him he his hungry and should steal but the EGO will tend to correct that if he steals and gets caught he would be killed so the EGO then gives alternative ways to quench the hunger like the person should work and after working he gets paid and buys food to quench is hunger. While on the other hand the SUPER EGO works on norms and rule standard, he tells the ID what he should do and not to do, it operates on societal standard of life and the realistic part of it. So a person personality either good or bad is determined through this three process. A bad personality like stealing, cheating and other bad acts is has a result of ID dorminating personality which the EGO AND SUPER EGO can no longer control and on the other hand a good personality like honesty, truth and kindness is as a result of SUPER EGO dorminating personality.

Also Freud also added that they are some childhood conflict that if not controlled it will affect man's personality. He grouped them in five which are oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital.
•For the oral it is noticed between children of age 0-1, they tend to put everything thing in their mouths, that the things they are putting in the mouth is as a result of accomplishing their desire , and if they are not allowed to accomplish their desire when they were small they would be affected in their adult stage, that is why some people can do without eating every time because it is as a result of the desire they didn't accomplish when they were small.

•Anal stage, it is usually experienced between age 1-3, the desire is at the anus. At this stage the baby is usually needing to defecate or pass away materials from his body, so when he is forced to hold it, later in future he tends to be very good in holding urine and feaces for a long time in his body which it is not good and even he tends to be stingy and selfish because he is not always ready to let go of anything in his possession

•Phallic stage, this stage is usually experienced between age 3-5, the desire of child is usually to the opposite sex, the male children tends to like their mother more and the female tends to like and their father. The children develop some kind of feeling for the opposite sex and this is not corrected later in future the male may so in love with that he tends to build a sexual relationship with the mother and vice versa for the female.

•Latency stage, this stage is usually between 5-12, the child do not really have a certain desire at this stage, he tends to behave the way he sees things around him.

While for the last stage which is the genital stage , it is usually experienced from age 12-18 , he desire is always towards the opposite sex, the girls tends to move closer to the boys and vice versa, they tend to have affection for one another . This are the concept Freud believed that shapes a person's personality. Thanks for reading
