Chapter 5 Outline On the Nature of Consciousness Consciousness is the awareness of internal and external stimuli. Includes: Awareness of external events (the professor asked me a hard question) Awareness of internal events (my heart was starting to race and I was sweating) Awareness of yourself as the unique being to experience this (why me?) Your awareness about the thought of these experiences (I?m going to make a fool of myself) Consciousness never stops and it would be an endless thought of ideas. William James nicknamed this ?the stream of consciousness? Variations in Levels of Awareness Freud argued that people?s feelings and behavior are driven by unconscious needs, wishes and conflicts.
