Social consciousness – From public society benefit organizations like the ACLU to the local food bank, to disaster relief funds, Americans have a tradition stretching back to the earliest days of the country of helping our neighbors.
Social consciousness or social awareness, is collective consciousness shared by individuals within a society.
Social consciousness is linked to the collective self-awareness and experience of collectively shared social identity. From this viewpoint, social consciousness denotes conscious awareness of being part of an interrelated community of others. The “we are feeling” or the “sense of us” may be experienced in members of various cultures and social groups. By the experience of collectively shared social identity, individuals may experience social unity. Social consciousness may also stimulate working towards a common goal. -Wikipedia
