Detailed explanation-1: -The id is ruled by the pleasure principle-the idea that impulses need to be fulfilled immediately. The ego, on the other hand, is the component of personality that deals with the demands of reality.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pleasure principle dictates that the id will seek out the most immediate way to gratify this need. Once the ego has developed, however, the reality principle will push the ego to look for more realistic and acceptable ways to fill these needs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pleasure principle refers to the desire for immediate gratification, while the reality principle accounts for the way people learn to consider the consequences of their actions.

Detailed explanation-4: -The id operates on the pleasure principle (Freud, 1920) which is the idea that every wishful impulse should be satisfied immediately, regardless of the consequences. When the id achieves its demands, we experience pleasure when it is denied we experience ‘unpleasure’ or tension.
