Sigmund Freud was the famous philosopher who studied the problem of conscious and influence of emotions. Everybody knows Freud as the author of well-known concept of three levels of person: id, ego and super-ego, which is considered as complex view of inner self. The reference of Freud to the conscious mind is what can be called today available memory" anything that can be brought up on mind is named available memory. Freud thinks of them as of the smallest parts of mind. According to him, the largest part is unconscious. Unconscious takes account of the things that are not available to realizing such as instincts and memories which are very hurting to face. Freud said that the unconscious is the basis of the motivations. It does not matter whether they are simple, as the wish of food, or such motives as scientist or artist. So people can deny or accept them, resist or deny of being conscious of these motives and they may be acceptable only in hidden form. Freud describes the id as something, consisting of immediate needs. Then he says that the ego represents reality and it serves for id, as it looks for the necessary means to satisfy the needs of the id. Super- ego is described by Freud as the conscious. The biggest part of time and efforts are devoted to ego, as people are always searching for the means to satisfy their requirements and wishes. The super-ego in its term serves to represent the conscious and reflect the society. In most cases people are looking for satisfaction of the id with the help of the things and means which are acceptable by society.
