The reason why the period in which Freud lived was important and significant in shaping and sharing of his ideas was because he lived in a very conservative period where people weren't inclined to discuss certain things. What he did however was he showed that the superficial niceness of people had certain causes.
Perhaps Freud's single most enduring and important idea was that the human psyche (personality) has more than one aspect. Freud (1923) saw the psyche structured into three parts (i.e. tripartite), the id, ego and superego, all developing at different stages in our lives.ike the id, the ego seeks pleasure and avoids pain, but unlike the id the ego is concerned with devising a realistic strategy to obtain pleasure. Freud made the analogy of the id being a horse while the ego is the rider.
