Abstract

Awareness in general and the crisis of consciousness in particular is one of the most serious issues facing all societies in the world, as societies are now facing one of the most severe wars of the age that depend on modern technology. The modern means of communication are represented in the destruction of countries, which have become an alternative to wars on the ground, these sites have helped to form a Eletronic  collective mind between members of the same or different societies and are now used Like bullets that kill and revive entire peoples by accepting rumors that are broadcast and because of the ignorance of most individuals and those who rule over the collective mind this mind can create a crisis of consciousness, the aim of which is to assassinate minds Young people and future generations and their control, and from our proposal this was the goal of the current research is the collective mind and put forward the opinions of scientists on the existence of the collective mind and its impact on individuals, as well as to identify Factors of creating a contributing environment to the crisis of consciousness, by relying on the (inductive approach), we have reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which are: There are those who believe that the collective mind is just an imagination that has no basis in reality Or the lack of scientific evidence for it and was invented by the scientist Emile Durkheim, but the collective mind is a mind that controls the minds of the group without having an opinion or thinking but is moved by others as the herd moves, The group has influence over individuals and accordingly may decrease or increase their ability to judge the mind and their behavior is called the "behavior of the herd" which we can call the cessation or weakness of the control of the individual mind and the control of the collective mind Which causes a crisis of consciousness, as there are several factors that can be invoked by the collective mind, which creates a crisis of consciousness, the most important of which is ignorance, there is an ignorant of the letter and there is an ignorant of information, the ignorant of information is controlled by others By conveying a news or information that they want to promote or subordinate them to, as the acceptance of rumors from these categories also has a role in creating a crisis of awareness, as well as the development of means of communication and the increase of social media sites that It is used by any member of society who wishes, whether young or old, scientist or backward, which has increased the crisis of awareness of some members of society by submitting to the opinion of the group or what the researcher can call  ((Electronic collective mind)) because it forms a pressure and engine on the opinions of individuals through the means of modern technology, and therefore the psychology of the collective mind is the worst form of mind because the individual is driven behind his instincts. Primitive through his sense of formal security within the totality.
