Social conscience

A social conscience is "a sense of responsibility or concern for the problems and injustices of society".[1]

While our conscience is related to our moral conduct in our day-to-day lives with respect to individuals, social conscience is concerned with the broader institutions of society and the gap that we may perceive between the sort of society that should exist and the real society that does exist.

The term social conscience has been used in conjunction with everything from investing,[2] to art,[3] antiques,[4] and politics.[5]
