Discussion: Conscience and Shame

Teacher: What do you think, are conscience and shame the same thing?
Student: No. You feel shame when others see, but you feel conscience when you know yourself.
Teacher: Give an example.
Student: I copied my homework. No one noticed, but I felt guilty.
Teacher: Good, and how do you say that in English?
Student: My conscience was not clear.
