The term “common sense” is frequently talked among us every day. Common sense is mainly based on human experience and people's individual perceptions.
Common sense isn't actually common. Common sense is different from person to person and mostly depends on how good one can handle the situation.
The more precise definition could be like below:
Common sense is the natural ability to make good judgments and to behave in a practical and sensible way.
Here we will see some of the common sense which is applicable to all but most of the cases common people do not follow it.
