it's common sense

I’ve thought a little about the conversation I want to join for my final paper, and though still very sketchy, I’m thinking about using this idea of “common sense”. It has been discussed by most of our authors, Luntz in particular wrote a lot about the norms of which a society follows. I want to take this conversation, look at how a belief achieves the title of “common sense”. I would also like to look into tradition as the ways one of these ideas being passed along through the generations. Some of the most influential beliefs have been carried generations through oral tradition, I might examine our countries holidays and write about the generalities between them to possibly find some bit of underlining common sense.
