Environment of a person over a period of time influence his domain of social activities and generate certain level of positive and negative mental tendencies. The net algebraic effect of these tendencies is considered as a measure of reflection on consciousness level in the material world of reality. The present paper explores the reflection of human activities on the development of consciousness level in terms of positive and negative mental tendencies.
