Said is two thousand five hundred years ago, the great sages of classical Greece in the town of Delphi, where the famed Oracle of the gods, he was writing in the pronaos (front) of the Temple of Apollo the phrase: Know yourself . It is noteworthy that society, then went on pilgrimage to that place to connect with the divine. In reality the epitaph can be seen from different perspectives depending on the current spiritual, religious, cultural and social which each who possess. However, these precepts (147) are simple phrases that are attributed to the seven sages of antiquity, among them the cultor of such knowledge of Miletus.

Now, continuing with the analysis is documented in latin there was an adjective awareness (participant in a knowledge, that it shares with another confident knowledge of something,), which incidentally, Terencio in s. II a.C. employs it with meaning and value of an accomplice. With the evolution of conceptual and terminological changes the noun conscientia, which in principle is interpreted as knowledge sharing, then as a global and full knowledge and global self-knowledge of a human being and its existence is built and their thinking, their actions and their actions relate to morality. Already here we see how is going to reinforce the moral character. The great Julio Cesar Cayo takes role in this story, in the first half of the century s. I a.C. writes the word in his work De bello civili and then in De bello Gallico, much more to build the value of good and evil.In later years, Sallust, Cicero and many other authors used the word in all its nuances.

Considering the above, is reference from conscius and conscientia, poet Horacio (second half of the century s. I a.C.), a verb conscire with the value of having something about awareness to translate the Greek aorist σύνοιδα used for the first time in its Epodos, and from that translation or cake, Word conscientia will acquire the value of remorse, which formerly had so clearly. So that there was a tributary branch that was giving shape to the term awareness. Source At the beginning of this century, the dictionary of the Real Academia Española (RAE - 2005) presents a clear definition on how awareness. Therefore, not by chance major moral precepts that departed, and the Greeks had to be bound contained in the columns and main walls of the pronaos of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Maximum authority over standards of our mother tongue declares that in a moral sense, ability to discern between good and evil, can only be used as conscience, among the examples concerns: not have awareness (scruples) have charge of awareness (by feeling guilty of damage to the detriment of someone).

Firmly the RAE, said that in the general sense of perception or knowledge, both forms are used even though he is normally preferred the simpler spelling: I have an awareness of my limitations. The corresponding adjective, in all cases is: awareness, and its antonym, unconscious. Still emphatically say that the conscious or unconscious ways are not correct. Consequently, the word conscience should be used mainly when context is framed within the moral scope: said to feel guilty awareness because he did not support a good cause... RAE ays that:

Consciousness is the ability of human beings to recognize the surrounding reality and interact with it. Coma is the total loss of conscience. As the second value refers to spontaneous or immediate knowledge that the subject has of itself, its actions and reflections. He lost consciousness of what was happening to him. While the third definition is reflective knowledge of things. He acted with full consciousness of what they did. In this regard, if the form can be used consciousness to refer to the moral aspect. The latter meaning relates to the first, psychic Act whereby a subject perceives himself in the world. Source
