Answer to Question 1

class consciousness

Answer to Question 2

beliefs such as equality and group superiority are inconsistent, as are beliefs in humanitarianism and achievement, activity and leisure, science and religion, and other examples from the text. We can hold opposite values at the same time because we apply them situationally. For example, we value success but don't care how it is achieved, we may value freedom more for ourselves (it's ok for our friends to be gay) but not others (we may be less tolerant of homosexuality in general), we believe science can save us but also believe in salvation through religion. These contrasts exemplify the both/and perspective.
