Freud

As I stated in my introduction, I love Freud. In almost every class his name is brought up at least once. So I thought that I would actually research what his theory on human nature is and discuss it. Freud believed in the unconscious and that everything is driven by that. He believed that conscious part is what you are aware of at any given moment. For example, thoughts, feelings, memories, and perceptions. He believed that the preconscious which today is known as anything that can be called in to the conscious easily. Freud thought that the largest part is the unconscious. The things that reside here are drives, instincts, and morals. Things that just come without actually thinking about. This also ties in with the chapter on Confucianism because Freud believed that all our morals are located in the unconscious.
