conscientiousness

Conscientiousness is not just about getting to the church on time, in a freshly-ironed outfit. It is a fundamental personality trait that influences whether people set and keep long-range goals, deliberate over choices or behave impulsively, and take seriously obligations to others. Conscientiousness is a key ingredient in success, but the off-the-charts conscientious may court perfectionism by setting their sites too high.

Conscientiousness distinguishes organized and hard working people from people who are more impulsive and spontaneous. Conscientiousness is a top predictor of job performance and success, but people low in Conscientiousness are good to have around when the plan does not work out and some quick thinking is necessary. You’d want to market to people by Conscientiousness differently: those high in Conscientiousness would take longer to make a purchasing decision and would want to compare with other products, those low in Conscientiousness would be more likely to make a snap decision.

Look at all my achievements. Look at how hard I work. Aren't I better than you? Hey... HEEYY! Doesn't that make me better than you? Look how much better than you I am. Hey! Don't you think I'm better than you? Everyone always tells me how much better than you I am. Tell me I'm better than you. Hey... HEEYY! Tell me I'm better than you.

mass-conscientiousness 

Mass-Conscientiousness is an ideal and phrase created and authored October 15, 2011 by Tirzah Michele Fujii. It is defined by Tirzah Michele Fujii, as the idea that mankind is evolving towards a state of truth, virtue, and conscientiousness on a mass scale of consciousness. This ideology and phrase based on love and compassion, is that mass consciousness is in the process of evolving to or, becoming "Mass-Conscientiousness". Also, the slogan and phrase promotes caring for other people, plants, animals, and the earth as we care for ourselves. This idea provides that each individual reacts collectively in one's intentions and actions. One will protect the interest of the whole society, and sacrifice itself, as long as it does not endanger or harm one's individual self in the process. "Mass-Conscientiousness" is in contrast to the animal survivalist drive and impulse to sacrifice others for our own personal gain: economically,spiritually,physically,and commercially, by exploiting or sacrificing another individual's well-being at some level. The ideology, that n order for a governmental and societal system to have integrity and for it to be able to last, it must be built upon the principles of a virtuous conscience, rather than deceit and exploitation.
