COMMON SENSE ; A MYTH

COMMON SENSE: A MISCONCEPTION 

Common sense is neither common nor sense. Common sense is a phrase that generally implies something everyone knows; but it's more of a figure of speech.
Usually , it is used as a phrase to belittle someone who has missed an obvious point or solution .It can be rephrased as when someone takes a different course of action than the one preferred by majority , they are told to change it by discouraging their morals; the phrases used are
 "It's common sense" , "don't be stupid" , "that's not how you do it" e.t.c  basically
We humans are the most diverse species on the planet. DNA combines into million different patterns to give all of us a unique trait making each of us an important element in the universe , serving a bigger purpose. 
      Our brains comprehend and understand things differently right down to individual level ; the very reason why scientists are still baffled & perplexed by the phenomenon of human behavior.
   Coming back to common sense, considering we are different at behavioral level which causes our reactions to be different at individual level. Hence , common sense or an obvious reaction to an event is quite improbable to exist.
 Yesterday's common sense often becomes today's nonsense.
Trends practised as a part of norm, reactions considered common sense are now considered wrong or laughed at .
trends such as not educating the female child , not allowing women to vote, vaccines cause diseases e.t.c
