Critical consciousness can be defined as an ongoing process of reflection and knowledge seeking about mechanisms and outcomes of social, political, and economic oppression that requires taking personal and collective action toward fairness and social justice. The first question raised is, "How aware are we of the ways in which social institutions and social structure condition our behaviors?" The second question is, "How aware are we of the ways in which our day-to-day activities over time perpetuate or transform social structure?" By seeking answers to these questions, we can understand and promote the need for social change.
