The forces that shape one's conscience and are essentially outside one's control from the options provided are:
- **social conditioning**: This encompasses the influences from society, culture, family, and upbringing that shape values, beliefs, and understanding of right and wrong.
- **natural endowment**: This refers to inherent traits or predispositions, such as personality characteristics or cognitive abilities, that can influence one’s moral decisions and conscience.
The other options, while influential, are more personal and may not be considered entirely outside one's control:
- **scientific understanding**: This can be influenced by personal interest and education and therefore may not be entirely outside one's control.
- **personal emotions**: These are subjective experiences that one often has some level of control over, even though they can influence moral decision-making.
