According to Sigmund Freud, the ego is part of personality that mediates the demands of the id, the superego and reality. The ego prevents us from acting on our basic urges (created by the id), but also works to achieve a balance with our moral and idealistic standards (created by the superego).
The ego is seen as a part of the id modified by contact with the external world. It is a. mental agent mediating among three contending forces: the outside demands of. social pressure or reality, libidinal demands for immediate satisfaction arising. from the id, and the moral demands of the superego.
