Using speeches, official websites, educational websites, and books from different historians, philosophers, political theorists, and sociologists, the knowledge foundation for this essay was laid. The question of the ways of bringing social consciousness in social democratic frameworks has been the central focus of the essay. Education and democracy, were the keys to the expansion of the intelligentsia and the free activity of artists and activists. In social democracies, the freedom of speech, the social welfares, and education all allow the rise of moderate intelligentsia, activists, and artists. The intelligentsia, artists, and activists in have been the ones to bring positive change not only in the cultural ground, but also in social, political, and/or economic grounds. The rise of these classes is of central significance in increasing public awareness.
