Formal school and college education is just one, very small part, of our learnings.<BR/><BR/>The major part of our learnings start from birth and is based primarily on our interactions and experiences with the people, nature and environment around us. And most important, it is based on our interactions with our ownself.<BR/><BR/>ThanksAseemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648768363835213672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296600202002305152.post-86300093367838003992008-02-09T01:28:00.000+05:302008-02-09T01:28:00.000+05:30Hi Anon,Lets say that a new tribe got discovered s...Hi Anon,<BR/><BR/>Lets say that a new tribe got discovered somewhere in the Amazon forest. People there have no idea of the world outside the forest. <BR/><BR/>If I bring one of them to the city. Anything that we consider as common sense for survival in the city will be alien to him. e.g. he might walk in the middle of the road, till some car almost runs him down (this experience will put some common sense in him).<BR/><BR/>On the other hand if I visit him, I would be very uncomfortable since I do not have the common sense required to survive in a jungle.<BR/><BR/>There is really no "right point of view", each point of view is a diffrent dimension of looking at something. I really appreciate your perspective and the fact that certain things, such as what you have mentioned, are so basic that it should be common sense for everyone, irrespective of culture or nationality.<BR/><BR/>I just want to add that even "expected cultural" behaviour is acquired, and becomes common sense only for people from that culture. It is not common sense for other cultures.<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Aseemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648768363835213672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296600202002305152.post-10301471368846925962008-02-08T21:22:00.000+05:302008-02-08T21:22:00.000+05:30Well I think there are 2 types of people.Highly ed...Well I think there are 2 types of people.<BR/><BR/>Highly educated people who have very little common sense.<BR/><BR/>And not very educated people that have a whole lot of common sense.<BR/><BR/>It has been my experience that people fall in either two of the catagories.<BR/><BR/>what is education anyway ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296600202002305152.post-65831606549846557632008-02-08T19:28:00.000+05:302008-02-08T19:28:00.000+05:30Based on your examples, I think you're confusing c...Based on your examples, I think you're confusing common sense (which is really about thinking in terms of one's survival) with cultural behavior. Sitting on the floor verse standing along the sides of the room has nothing to do with common sense. <BR/><BR/>Imagine wearing black clothes at night while walking on a unlit highway. Common sense would say that you should walk on the grassy shoulder out of traffic's way instead of on the middle of the road. It would also dictate that you wear something reflective or carry a flashlight. Or better yet, stay home.<BR/><BR/>I see plenty of people filling their cars with gasoline. Common sense would say that you keep all sparks and flames away from you. Yet, how many times have you seen a lit cigarette dangling from their lips as they pump away?<BR/><BR/>Common sense isn't about nationality or customs. It's really about that sense of not doing something stupid that would endanger ourselves or those around us. Perhaps the difficult in this "Common sense" is that it requires us to think about our action and to be mindful of ourselves and others. Unfortunately, most people seem to be more common in the fact they don't think before they act.Anon A.

I too believe "common sense" implies "logical thinking". Many a times it happens tht v feel a situation or a task is complex bt infact it can be easily solved by applying "common sense".alokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137855657947374846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296600202002305152.post-88022480533074035122008-02-07T19:34:00.000+05:302008-02-07T19:34:00.000+05:30mindful mimi,there is a lot of beauty in diversity...mindful mimi,<BR/>there is a lot of beauty in diversity.

Surely it is possible for common sense to be uncommon simply because one person is behaving aggressively and thinking accordingly, whereas the other person is thinking defensively due to fear.Aseemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648768363835213672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5296600202002305152.post-20274866019375697232008-02-07T19:29:00.000+05:302008-02-07T19:29:00.000+05:30Krunal:The difference in personalities is what bri...Krunal:<BR/>The difference in personalities is what brings color to life.

What goes for one nationality upsets many others and vice versa.
