A) Expert Computer Programs are designed to work only in certain domains. They are hard of common sense possessed by a common man. The systems can not extend beyond the scope originally designed for.

B) Common sense is what people " sense ' in common and would agree in common. Common sense also refers to the beliefs or knowledge held by people in common. It does not require study or research but an extension of prudence, wisdom and experience of a person.

C) The ability to use knowledge about knowledge is exhibited in common sense. Situations change in time as a result of events. For example, antibiotic for cholera may kill the cholera bacteria but the damage to the intestine of the patient may cause loss of fluids that would be fatal. This is a new situation arising out of the cholera bacteria. Artificial intelligence faces problems in understanding concurrent events. But common sense , which a person by experience has in a particular field could visualise the concurrent or new event.

D) Another example to illustrate common sense :- Consider the fact that when two objects collide , they often make a noise. Common sense tells that this fact can be used :-
1) to make a noise
2) to avoid making a noise
3) to explain a noise

Answer 4

Common sense (or, when used attributively as an adjective, commonsense, common-sense or commonsensical), based on a strict deconstruction of the term, is what people in common would agree: that which they "sense" in common as their common natural understanding. Some use the phrase to refer to beliefs or propositions that in their opinion they consider would in most people's experience be prudent and of sound judgment, without dependence upon esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what is believed to be knowledge held by people "in common", so: the knowledge and experience most people have, or are believed to have by the person using the term.

Whatever definition is considered apt, identifying particular items of knowledge that are "common sense" is more difficult. Philosophers may choose to avoid using the phrase where precise language is required. Common sense is a perennial topic in epistemology and widely used or referred to by many philosophers. Some related concepts include intuitions, pre-theoretic belief, ordinary language, the frame problem, foundational beliefs, endoxa, and axioms.

Answer 5

I have a magnet on my refrigerator that says, "Why do they call it common sense when it's so rare?" That's a good question. Sadly, the ability to figure out the obvious -- which we call "common sense" -- isn't so common. Most people only know what they've been told, and a lot of it is wrong, especially when it comes to politics and religion. They lack the "common sense" to figure out what's true and what's just propaganda.

Common sense ideas tend to relate to events within human experience, and thus commensurate with human scale. Thus there is no commonsense intuition of, for example, the behavior of the universe at subatomic distances or speeds approaching that of light.

Answer 9

Common sense is the ability to discern how relevant information is to the matter at hand, and to correctly weight all the information when thinking about a topic.
