The Term Ego Has Acculturated Our World, But What About Our Belief Systems?

It is clear that Freud's psychoanalytic theories has become our basis for understanding personalities in our world.  We use the word ego to explain each other hangup's and behaviors. As I was thinking about today's post, I wondered how does this reflect our belief systems? My understanding of belief systems for this post are Judaism, Islam and Christianity in the West and Eastern belief systems. Do ancient teachings found in the Torah, Koran and Bible support psychoanalytic theory? Or do Eastern belief systems have a clearer indication of ego in their teachings?

Does The USA Have an Ego?

Today I will continue talking about the ego from my experience and personal opinion.
It beats trying to understand Freud's complicated id, ego, superego and reality, that stuff is for school.
However we all experience and live these concepts each day. We may recognize the importance of our ego in our life or we may choose to totally ignore it.

Two days ago I started talking about what tools I find important as someone begins to move toward entrepreneurship. I suggested you must control your ego and not let it control you. If people are going to have any sense of worth, it always comes through discipline and this includes controlling the ego.

We live in a culture that controls and manipulates everything. As a result the USA is the most advanced and wealthy nation in the world. Our gas, fiat money and food is manipulated and managed so that it brings a profit to the originators of these industries. However our homeless and blue collar workers never really receive the true benefit of wealth.

We may be able to say that the founding fathers represent the ego of the US?
