I’m voting to close this question because this question does not appear to be about Buddhist philosophy, teaching, and practice, within the scope defined in the help center. – Dhamma Dhatu Nov 04 '23 at 12:37

hello, as written the question is too vague please add more context and we will reopen. Also as DD said, all questions should have some connection with this site's topic. – Andriy Volkov Nov 04 '23 at 12:57

The internet says:
Collective consciousness, also known as collective conscience, is a sociological concept that refers to common ideas, attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge that are shared amongst a social group, organization, or society.
Buddhism says:
Follow not the vulgar way; live not in heedlessness; hold not false views; linger not long in worldly existence.
One who looks upon the world as a bubble and a mirage, him the King of Death sees not.
Come! Behold this world, which is like a decorated royal chariot. Here fools flounder, but the wise have no attachment to it.
In Buddhism, there are four/eight types of Enlightened Individuals. The enlightened individuals do not follow the ways of the world. Particularly, there are times/occasions, where the collective attitude is false & immoral.
