AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Consciousness can be defined as the awareness of our own thoughts, feelings and perceptions (internal events) and our surroundings (external stimuli) at any given moment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Conscious awareness is a twofold state of being, in which the mind is both awake as well as cognizant of its surroundings. Like in the classic example of a square is always a rectangle but a rectangle is not always a square, a mind can be consciously aware but it cannot be aware without also being conscious.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sigmund Freud divided human consciousness into three levels of awareness: the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious.
