Consciousness raising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Consciousness raising or CR was a form of political action typically associated with the American Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) movement, and later with feminism internationally. The answer was the use of consciousness raising groups. The SDS, which led the American New Left felt a strong organisational need for a new educational structure. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Consciousness_raising

consciousness, conscience, consciousness raising, consciousness-raising. The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993 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. Consciousness is what people are aware of, what they deliberately think about, the state of being aware. Conscience is the sense of right and wrong. www.bartleby.com /68/52/1452.html

Consciousness Raising Consciousness / awareness raising is defined as acts of expanding human awareness of nonhuman animal physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs and capacities. Consciousness raising is carried out on animal communication consultations and workshops on an informal basis. We wish to improve the well-being and standing of the animals, thus bringing them to their rightful status. www.aiaianimal.org /consciousness_raising.html

Raising Your Consciousness Every level of consciousness outlined in the previous post is actually a trap. I have been told incidents of individuals who have experienced permanent “elevation” in their consciousness when they had the first darshan (view) of an authentic Guru as far as 50-100 feet. As soon as you realize that nothing will change unless you get yourself to take action, you raise your consciousness to the level of willingness. www.stevepavlina.com /blog/2005/04/raising-your-consciousness

Consciousness Raising It is very consciousness— raising to discover that others’ guilty secrets are the same as one’s own. Serious CONSCIOUSNESS RAISING groups require babysitting facilities nearby so that mothers of young children need not be excluded. It is understandable that they may not feel they need CONSCIOUSNESS— RAISING, but when they come, they gain as much as we are gaining. www.cwluherstory.com /CWLUArchive/crguidelines.html

Spacefem.com :: View topic - Feminist Fridays: Consciousness raising Consciousness raising groups were a major cornerstone of the feminist movement of the '70's. The issues may not be exactly the same for women today as they were in the '70's but there is definitely a need for consciousness raising. And even though the majority of the members of the forum are under 18 and can't vote yet, I still see the need of consciousness raising. spacefem.com /forum/viewtopic.php?t=11434

Pop Occulture » Raising Consciousness undoubtedly the words’ raising’ and ‘consciousness’ are two of the most debased usages in the common currency. in some ways i’ve always thought the idea of ‘raising consciousness’ is just bs newage jargon. I also feel like Ken Wilber’s pre/post conventional distinction is another disguise for the “raising consciousness” question. www.timboucher.com /journal/2005/07/22/raising-consciousness

Consciousness-Raising When their consciousness "matures" and they turn to each other in order to relate on a deeper level, the effect of this heightened type of relationship will spill over into all the element that make up life in their home. This, of course, is because the spiritual nature of the land of Israel is conducive to G-d consciousness, and Abraham was only able to achieve the level of consciousness required to influence the dynamics of the partzufim once he was there. Abraham, evidently, could appreciate or achieve the Divine consciousness that is "spoken" into the world, but could not relate to Divine "thought" until he reached the land of Israel. www.kabbalaonline.org /WeeklyTorah/Ari/Consciousness-Raising.asp

Piercy Consciousness-Raising Guide What is the satisfaction in raising our consciousness if that is only to increase our awareness of an oppressive society and an intolerable living situation - that only increases our frustration. Still, consciousness-raising groups are intended to be more than discussion groups, for in order to be a movement for change, we have to act as well as talk. We have to try to be conscious of these feelings, although we are not in a group to act our encounters with each other, but to give support. research.umbc.edu /~korenman/wmst/crguide2.html

THE THIRD CULTURE - BRIGHT!! 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". Just as the upside-down (northern hemisphere chauvinism again: flinch!) map from New Zealand raises consciousness about a geographical truth, children should hear themselves described not as "Christian children" but as "children of Christian parents". Everybody's consciousness should be raised to this level. www.edge.org /3rd_culture/bright/bright_index.html

Science News : Consciousness raising. (First of two articles) @ HighBeam Research Start / S / Science News / October 10, 1992 / Consciousness raising. For much of the 20th century, scientists have shunned the slippery, subjective trappings of consciousness that intrigued their predecessors in the 1800s. 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. static.highbeam.com /s/sciencenews/october101992/consciousnessraisingfirstoftwoarticles/index.html

Office of the Vice-Rector, Research — Research Perspectives Now a professor, he remains intrigued by the notion of consciousness, an everyday expression for something that has proven to be scientifically elusive. As you lose consciousness, there are changes, and they’re very subtle. Our ability to discriminate among these sensations is a key part of the ongoing debate about the nature of human consciousness. www.uottawa.ca /vr-recherche-research/perspectives/v6n4/644.html

Untitled Document Political-ideological projects propose self-management of each community’s resources, while the idea of equality among its members is transferred to the global consciousness. This means that the distance to the universal increases, creating the need to reinforce the traditions and culture of each community, risking the unfolding of extreme forms of nationalism, whether religious, ethnic or social. www.eicos.psycho.ufrj.br /ingles/ingl_parti_solid_desesenv/participacaosolidedesenvolv.htm

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. 3.) To those who are really committed to revolutionary change —please let those of us in the cult of consciousness raising know you‘re around, we could use some inspiration from time to time. And yet this question over the effectiveness of “consciousness raising” is rarely asked. www.etext.org /Politics/AlternativeOrange/1/v1n2_eim.html

Reason: Consciousness Raising 101: Inside the gender studies classroom 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. Reason: Consciousness Raising 101: Inside the gender studies classroom 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. www.reason.com /0302/co.cy.consciousness.shtml

Spiritual Growth: Raising your Consciousness Debating, arguing or defending your perception creates conflict and prevents you from raising your consciousness. That understanding is "soul knowlege." It stimulates your inner-consciousness in a manner that allows you to experience your soul and be consciously aware of it. They are buried so deep within your consciousness that you are oblivous of them. www.experiencefestival.com /a/Spiritual_Growth/id/34923

The Key Is Raising Your Consciousness When you examine the Edgar Cayce readings at the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) you'll read that the Great Pyramid was originally designed to facilitate the raising of consciousness and making contact with one's higher self. And that our most important journey is a consciousness expanding journey, not just a material, satisfaction journey to satisfy our material needs, but also to awaken our souls and awaken our consciousness. And it was decided that we had descended deep into matter now, and we were going to go further, and we would lose a lot of our consciousness. www.21stcenturyradio.com /articles/v15n16a04.html

Consciousness-Raising or Critical Thinking: Is Feminism a Liberal Art It’s my modest hope that, if students learn these lessons, their consciousness will necessarily be raised. I’d like to explain each approach briefly, giving some examples of how I employ them, before turning to some of the problems with these approaches and asking the audience for input on how these problems might be resolved. To that end, I have three broad approaches:teach the conflicts, teach the critique of ideology, and model a critically engaged feminism. www.vanderbilt.edu /AnS/english/piepmeier/consciousness.htm

Reviews: July 2000 In particular, Malchow claims that it was the partially white "half-breed"—once seen as the highest category of a colored race, an "eternal victim raised from the bestial" through "the actual blood of the white paternalist" (103)—who increasingly became an object of fear and scorn at the fin-de-siècle. In so doing, he raises fundamental questions about the sf genre’s intrinsic limits (especially as compared to "mainstream" fiction) and the quality of the reading experience itself. Although certainly not the first to do so, Saint-Gelais thus outlines an evolution in sf reader conventions from those of "didactic strategy" sf (141) to those used for decoding more "estranging" sf of the modern era. www.depauw.edu /sfs/birs/bir81.htm

The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum - Article With the potential to dramatise social, economic and political issues (hardly addressed by popular media) street theatre raises people's consciousness to an extent that the viewers may not do something but it hits their mind and they become aware. With the passage of time themes changed from national consciousness to capitalism, peasant and labour movement, environment, communalism, Mandal, dowry, girl child sexual harassment, AIDS and globalisation etc. Whereas, street theatre not only promotes a democratic, secular, and rational consciousness among the people but also provides robust entertainment without any cost. www.tribuneindia.com /2002/20020210/spectrum/main5.htm

Communication Studies: RHETORICAL FUNCTIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS-RAISING IN THIRD WAVE FEMINISM, THE Examining how consciousness-raising as a rhetorical option has changed is important for understanding how individuals develop a critical consciousness in contemporary contexts. 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). Specifically, we show how third wave feminist consciousness-raising instills a critical perspective that focuses on personal and social injustices. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3669/is_200401/ai_n9467920
