Abstract


 
 
 
 Abstract: Political consciousness is an individual's awareness of their society's reality, as well as their regional and international environment. It involves understanding the different problems of the era and the influential forces involved in decision-making, both domestically and globally. It encompasses knowing the facts, monitoring influential aspects and forces, tracking events, analyzing and exploring their backgrounds, dimensions, and effects. Additionally, it entails understanding the traditions, customs, cultures, sciences, prevailing and obsolete laws that have evolved and continue to shape it. It also involves familiarizing oneself with the terminology, political, literary, and scientific languages of the era in order to read and analyze its discourse, to gain knowledge about the projects of friends and foes, and to explore the various transformative experiences and investigate the reasons behind their success or failure.
 Therefore, societal political consciousness acts as a supportive bond for individuals in confronting their social reality, resolving its problems, and protecting it from regional and international challenges. It serves as a stabilizing force for society, both in its internal and external dealings. This research aims to explain the concept of political consciousness, its sources, and its importance for the state and society.
