Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cultural superego is the application of societal expectations and norms on the superego. According to Freud, the superego uses morality and values to respond to a person’s id, or demand for gratification.

Detailed explanation-2: -The superego is the ethical component of the personality and provides the moral standards by which the ego operates. The superego’s criticisms, prohibitions, and inhibitions form a person’s conscience, and its positive aspirations and ideals represent one’s idealized self-image, or “ego ideal.”

Detailed explanation-3: -The superego is present in the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious.

Detailed explanation-4: -The superego’s function is to control the id’s impulses, especially those which society forbids, such as sex and aggression. It also has the function of persuading the ego to turn to moralistic goals rather than simply realistic ones and to strive for perfection.
