Once a group has reached shared group consciousness, they no longer think in terms of "I" or "me" but in terms of "us" and "we." After all, communication is the drive that allows groups of people to move toward their goals.

Baars (1997) suggests that the global workspace "is closely related to conscious experience, though not identical to it." Conscious events may involve more necessary conditions, such as interacting with a "self" system, and an executive interpreter in the brain, such as has been suggested by a number of authors including Michael S.

The distinction is that Dennett's theory denies any clear and unambiguous boundary separating conscious experiences from all other processing.
By the experience of collectively shared social identity, individuals may experience social unity. Social consciousness may also stimulate working towards a common goal. According to Karl Marx, human beings enter into certain productive, or economic, relations and these relations lead to a form of social consciousness. [1] Marx said:
The Astonishing Hypothesis is mostly concerned with establishing a basis for scientific study of consciousness; however, Crick places the study of consciousness within a larger social context. Human consciousness according to Crick is central to human existence and so scientists find themselves approaching topics traditionally left to ...
