Understand the context of Alfred Adler's theory, which is part of the broader field of individual psychology.

Recognize that Adler proposed the concept of the 'inferiority complex,' which suggests that individuals are motivated by feelings of inferiority.

Identify that Adler believed the primary driving force in human behavior is the striving for superiority, which is an effort to overcome these feelings of inferiority.

Differentiate Adler's view from other psychological theories, such as Freud's emphasis on pleasure or Jung's focus on the collective unconscious.

Conclude that, according to Adler, the pursuit of superiority is the fundamental motivation behind human actions, rather than pleasure, divine connection, personal success, or love.
