The “we feeling” or the “sense of us” may be experienced in members of various cultures and social groups.
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: "In the social production of their life, men enter into definite relations that are indispensable and independent of their will; these relations of production correspond to a definite stage of development of their material forces of production.
The sum total of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society — the real foundation, on which rises a legal and political superstructure and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness.
