Quick question

a state of being aware of your thoughts and actions

 

On a lighter note: I have a cup holder that says: Consciousness- That annoying time between naps!

 

Consciousness is when you can't fly.

 

19 it the little thing in the back of ur mind telling uwhat right and wrong(1st thought)

2nd thought be able to think and made decisions on ur own will unlike Unconscious(out cold)

3rd thought ur Super ego or the ID someone to do with psychology

 

The ability to control your thoughts, emotions, body functions and actions.

 

The id is an unconscious part of our mind, if we are id controlled, we do everything we want, with no thought to consequences. The id is sometimes seen as the inner child, and fuels only by desire for pleasure, whether it can be found through sex or food or whatever takes our fancy. Animals are id controlled, they can't rationalise their desires. If they want food, they go to find food.

The Super ego is our conscience, if our id is telling us we want food, the super ego is there saying "wait until your family returns home so you can eat with them" or "don't eat that chocolate, it's bad for you". It is the part of us that makes us feel guilty when we do something bad. It is our moral side.

The ego is our own thoughts, we know what we want, and we know what is right, and we have to choose what to do. Usually we compromise, I'm going to take what I've said above as the example and in this case we would come to the conclusion that "Ok, I'm hungry now, so I'll only eat a cracker or something to keep me going until dinner's ready and I can eat with the family". Cha-ching. We have reached a thought out decision that takes our own wants AND what we know to be right into consideration, and have made a choice that fits everybody.

THAT is what I think consciousness is. We know what we want, but we know what is right. We can understand, and make informed decisions because of both of these processes.

Haha, bet you couldn't guess I had a psychology lesson today
