    Define conscience. What role does conscience play in moral decision-making?

    Conscience is "the sense or consciousness of the ethical goodness or reprehensibility of one's conduct,
    intentions, or character along with a sensation of commitment to do right or good." This characteristic
    differs in intensity throughout the play; in every individual, Conscience is what a person believes is right
    and how a person decides what is right. More than 'gut instinct,' our soul is a 'moral muscle.' It is the
    role of ethical awareness and ethical decision-making. We can make a practical decision in light of
    ethical values and principles. Conscience is here and there discussed as though it were only a 'feeling,' or
    'sense,' regarding what an individual believes is significant or needs to do. Conscience is the component
    of the insight that directs a person to pick truth over misrepresentation, directly over off-base, good
    over evil. For the most part, the individual's choices and activities are reliable with her profoundly held
    moral convictions. This way, we ought to utilize our Conscience when we are settling on choices as we
    ought to be determined what the proper thing to do is and what's up. "Synderesis was first used by
    Aristotle and is the ability of the mind to understand the first principles of moral reasoning." He saw that
    individuals picked some unacceptable decisions and said this was 'conscientia', the genuine moral
    judgment or choice an individual makes. It appears the Conscience should take a significant role in how
    we make ethical decisions.
