About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Since some of life's, and the world's greatest challenges can be solved with common sense, what is common sense If the answer does not jump out of your mind, you are not alone. None of the hundreds of those surveyed by the author were able to answer with a high degree of certainty. So, this begs the question, why do we all agree that common sense is extremely important, yet so few of us can explain what it is Since it is such a commonly used phrase, and many have accused others of lacking in it, it is reasonable to expect that we would all be able to explain what it is. It is reasonable, also, to assume that those of us who use it, but cannot explain what it is, could be using it incorrectly.Once you examine this phrase, 'common sense', within the context of this research, you may agree that it is virtually a scientific principle, and that if it governs our ideas, knowledge, reasoning, and actions, it would guarantee that we would perform at our best. You may also conclude that common sense is far superior to academic learning and that, if it is applied, it can be the most effective tool for shedding light on all of life's challenges.Common sense is not a list of pronouncements to follow, but a logical process of thinking that lifted Western civilisation from its worse period of regression between 500 and 1000 AD, and is therefore instrumental to our current stage of advancement. Yet, despite this, we are far from being at our best, because we do not consistently use common sense to decipher our daily life challenges.This book takes the reader on a journey of how to navigate some of life's greatest challenges, and demonstrates how we can solve some of our seemingly intractable problems with the effective application of common sense.

About this title

Synopsis

The Oscar Pistorius murder trial is one of the most significant criminal trials of the century. It threw up a most incredulous defense that caused many to be flabbergasted and confused by the not-guilty-of-murder verdict passed down by Judge Masipa. For them, it remains a mystery why such an improbable verdict was the outcome. Millions of astonished people were justified in asking the question: How is it possible for a man to be alone with his girlfriend in bed at 3 am, then fire four shots into his toilet and kill her without knowing it was her? Because of the perceived improbability of a not-guilty-of-murder verdict, many have voiced their opinion that such a verdict has to be because the judge was corrupt. The facts, however, do not support such a conclusion. Instead, what the author is suggesting is that the application of common sense is what was lacking in this case. Common sense is the highest level of knowledge we can aspire to, and when applied, it makes us the most effective we can be. Common sense is, essentially, the understanding and accurate interpretation of life, people, and the things that affect most or all of us, and then the use of this knowledge to live an effective and productive life. These qualities of common sense largely indicate why it is often said to be not common. This book aims to demonstrate how the application of common sense would have resulted in Oscar Pistorius been convicted of premeditated murder by Judge Masipa. It also aims to make a common sense case for a possible reason why Oscar Pistorius murdered Reeva Steenkamp.
