Some Features of Consciousness

Subjectivity is the most important part of consciousness because it is what causes us to be aware of what we are doing and I think that this is the important part because it is what turns our senses on and we understand what is happening to us. Unity is also a major part of the conscious because it is what allows us to start something and end it by knowing what we are talking about in the beginning and it can combine multiple experiences so that we can come to a conclusion. Intentionality is par of the conscious and it means the there must be a purpose to why we are feeling down or to why we are scared because it will not just come out of anywhere and I think that this is true because we have to find out something in order to realize something else.

The aspect of familiarity is the process of seeing things that are similar in category but different in look like a metal handless chair compared to a wooden handle chair which they are both chairs but they are different in some aspects. Mood plays another role in consciousness because in any experience that we are we have a mood to it as well and that is what makes certain experiences either good or bad which makes sense because people always say it depends how you accept the experience. There is also boundary conditions which lets you understand what time it is and what month or year it is so we will know these things because are conscious keeps a record of this even though it is not exact.
