Answer 5

Conscience has several alternative definitions. It may be defined as the motivation that arises from the moral or ethical principles that may govern a person's thoughts or actions. It may also mean conformity to a person's own sense of correct behaviour for example 'Never deviate from the dictates of one's conscience'. It may also denote a person's feeling of shame when doing something they consider immoral for example 'She has no conscience about her cruelty'. According to ancient Oriental religions conscience may be defined as the inherent wisdom that people have acquired in their past lives. It is therefore a person's inborn sense of right and wrong.

In psychology conscience is defined by Sigmund Freud as thoughts originating from the superego. It may take its cue from what we learn in childhood from role models like parents. The result of disobeying one's conscience is 'guilt' which in excessive quantities will develop into neurosis.
