Collective Consciousness and Alienated Consciousness

Most, if not all, people are members of multiple groups, e. g.  a family, a job, a geographical location, etc.  Thus, they experience multiple Collective Consciousnesses, which they coordinate with more or less ease.  Now, in many cases, there is a one-to-one correspondence between an awareness of being a member of a group, and objectively being a member of that group.  So, there are two kinds of failed correspondence--when one falsely believes that one is a member of a group, and when one does not recognize that one is a member of a group.  But, while the first kind of failure usually has subjective causes, e. g. delusion, the second can have either a subjective or an objective origin.  Among the common examples of a subjective failure to recognize a membership are negligence and irresponsible.  But a significant objective cause of a failure to recognize that one is a member of group is the obscuring of that membership through institutional or rhetorical means.  As a result, one can become aware of being not a member of the group.  This condition is an Alienated Consciousness, which often further develops into an antagonistic relation with a group one's membership in which one has been undermined by external forces, e. g. a hatred of Government.
