Question

(1) Common sense plays a vital role to make life smooth and safe living. Common
sense cannot be defined as such. It is seen that common sense is not common among
commoners. Common sense cuts through all boundaries of geography, religion,
language, education, and even 1.Q. levels. It has no special affinity for commoners. It is
not necessary that a genius has common sense because his mind is preoccupied with
complicated questions.
(2) It is believed that Isaac Newton made for his cats two swing doors at the bottom of
the main door of his house. The big door was for the big cat and the small door for the
small cat. We know that some so-called uneducated persons can display amazing
common sense under certain situations to solve tricky problems. If a rubber ball falls O
into a deep tube it can be retrieved by pouring water in the tube to make the ball float
up. This solution requires common sense and no extra-ordinary common sense.
(3) Common sense is sometimes related to creativity. Creative persons can solve
problems using methods very different from set procedures, and once widely known,
these solutions can become a matter of new common sense. When presented with a
most complicated rope knot, and the prophecy that whosoever could open the knot
would conquer the world, Alexander the Great simply cut it open with his sword.

(4) Common sense and logic both get distorted in a mob. Logic and common sense get.
clouded-also during situations including love and war. Our epics have numerous stories
to illustrate it. Bhishma decides to stay a bachelor to make his father happy. Even a
noble warrior like Rama kills Bali from behind a tree without a fair battle. To have
common sense, knowledge and wisdom have also no role to play. Common sense is
actually a faculty that combines natural instinct, observation, and experience to find
workable solutions for various situations without using too much brainpower.
(5)Common sense is useful everywhere, especially in social interactions. If common
sense can be non-uniform within a single society, then obviously it can change with
place and community. An Eskimo can make use of his common sense during
snowstorms at the North pole. But he cannot have the necessary common sense to find
his way through the Howrah Station in Calcutta. Every community quite often makes
fun of a stranger precisely because of this reason. The stranger appears to lack in a
common sense because he cannot conduct himself as conveniently and comfortably as
others do. To have and use common sense is a two-stage process. Firstly one has to
size up a situation quickly and then one has to act. The first requires perception and the
second some smartness. Judgment and action during a puzzling situation need
common sense. So to be geared for success, it may be advisable to develop exercises a
to improve common sense also by compelling individuals to face puzzling situations​
