		Consciousness is what people are aware of, what they deliberately think about, the state of being aware.
		Consciousness raising is therefore the bringing to the surface of perceptions, feelings, or intuitions perhaps latent or unrecognized before: specifically, it is making others aware—perhaps during a consciousness-raising session (which is a cliché)—of the problems of groups you consider to be insufficiently recognized or served.
		Conscience is the sense of right and wrong.

		It is very consciousness— raising to discover that others’ guilty secrets are the same as one’s own.

		undoubtedly the words’ raising’ and ‘consciousness’ are two of the most debased usages in the common currency.
		If I were to say that a “raised” consciousness is no better than a regular or even a debased consciousness, then I’d merely be pegged as representative of a certain wave, and thereby proven wrong or at least incomplete compared to somebody else at a “higher wave”, ie with higher consciousness.

		Like a chameleon that splashes a new array of colors across its skin each time it scurries from one place to another, consciousness -- the awareness of oneself and the surrounding world, as well as the sense of free will -- takes on a unique look and texture from one person to the next.
		Indeed, the chameleon's iridescent repertoire seems narrow compared to such conscious adventures as savoring a good meal, harboring envy toward a successful colleague, making plans for the arrival of a baby, and pondering the meaning of life.
		For much of the 20th century, scientists have shunned the slippery, subjective trappings of consciousness that intrigued their predecessors in the 1800s.

	Reason: Consciousness Raising 101: Inside the gender studies classroom
		For the second year in a row, I have had the fascinating experience of playing a role in which I never expected to find myself: professor of a gender studies course.
		Most had paid little or no attention to gender issues; they had so little knowledge of the women’s movement that the phrase consciousness raising did not ring a bell with anyone.
		The men tended to be sympathetic to accidental fathers trapped into 18 years of child support; the women tended to be sympathetic to abandoned mothers who, they worried, might be pressured into having abortions even when they wanted to raise the child if they knew they couldn’t count on financial support from the father.

		This in itself would raise their consciousness, empower them to make up their own minds and choose which religion, if any, they favour, rather than just assume that religion means "same beliefs as parents".

	Ecology in Mind: The “Cult of Consciousness Raising”
		The question these radical thinkers are raising pertains to the use of traditional “educational” means of effecting behavior (consciousness-raising), in conjunction with contemporary media channels (this newspaper being one of them), as a method of triggering massive, revolutionary transformation in culture.
		This question is relevant to not only those of us concerned about the environment (all of us???), but also to those radical thinkers who see the need for revolutions in the prevailing economic systems, in the restructuring of the “academy,” and the relationships we experience within our families, our churches and our communities.
		Easing my conscience — These, no doubt, are my “radical years.” Marriage, a little success, and a couple kids will see to it that i rationalize my intense desire for revolution away.

	Communication Studies: RHETORICAL FUNCTIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS-RAISING IN THIRD WAVE FEMINISM, THE
		We argue that these rhetorical responses raise consciousness in the public sphere, through mass media, popular culture, and college classrooms, fostering both public and private dialogue about gender inequities that aims at self-persuasion.
		In this essay, we argue that third wave feminist consciousness-raising has evolved in style, substance, and function in comparison to previous conceptions of consciousness-raising.4 Consciousness-raising experiences and practices have been called the foundation for social activism and movements (Cheseboro, Cragan, & McCullough, 1973; Gring-Pemble, 1998).
		Examining how consciousness-raising as a rhetorical option has changed is important for understanding how individuals develop a critical consciousness in contemporary contexts.
