Yes, "common sense" is almost totally conformed by culture. It is also an international concept - cause as you see people from different countries understand the concept (its name). Is it an universal concept? i have my doubts. In any case, has not universal contents. Sociologists use another concept that includes that of "common sense" in some way.......and may explain about the cultural and universal components in or out "common sense".

It is something not so common! Examples: Common sense says you shouldn't even waste your time on which soccer team wins or loses in a place 10000 miles away. What most people do: They fight over which team is better, even break public property if their favorite team loses and would kill for their favorite team. Common sense: International borders are conventional imaginary lines. It doesn't matter whether you were born on this side of the stupid line or the other. What most people do: Fight, kill, and get killed over the same imaginary line and win the honor of being called "patriotic heroes" Common sense: Don't put butter on your burned finger! Are you gonna fry it? What most people do: They fry the burned part with oil and butter to make a fresh meal. So, here's a tip: Common sense is what most people won't do!

Common sense COPY :- ( From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) This article is about the concept of the phrase. For the American revolutionary war pamphlet by Thomas Paine, see Common Sense (pamphlet). For other uses, see Common sense (disambiguation). Common sense, based on a strict construction of the term, consists of what people in common would agree on[citation needed] : that which they "sense" as their common natural understanding.[citation needed] Some people (such as the authors of Merriam-Webster Online) use the phrase to refer to beliefs or propositions that — in their opinion — most people would consider prudent and of sound judgment, without reliance on esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what they see as knowledge held by people "in common". Thus "common sense" (in this view) equates to the knowledge and experience which most people already have, or which the person using the term believes that they do or should have. However this is not the common dictionary definition. The most common meaning to the phrase is good sense and sound judgement in practical matters.[citation needed] It has nothing to do with what other people may think or feel.[citation needed] Whatever definition one uses, identifying particular items of knowledge as "common sense" becomes difficult. Philosophers may choose to avoid using the phrase when using precise language. But common sense remains a perennial topic in epistemology and many philosophers make wide use of the concept or at least refer to it. Some related concepts include intuitions, pre-theoretic belief, ordinary language, the frame problem, foundational beliefs, good sense, endoxa, and axioms. Common-sense ideas tend to relate to events within human experience (such as good will), and thus appear commensurate with human scale.[citation needed] Humans lack any common-sense intuition of, for example, the behavior of the universe at subatomic distances [see Quantum mechanics], or of speeds approaching that of light [see Special relativity].[citation needed] Often ideas that may be considered to be true by common sense are in fact false.[citation needed] It is seldom used as a professional Word.[citation needed]

Common sense is predictable acceptable behavior and knowledge for dealing with occurrences in everyday life. People with common sense are culturally aware and do things intuitively. In our western culture it is common sense not to behave recklessly and do dangerous activities we are not prepared for. Someone who is not aware of our cultural norms may behave contrary to acceptable societal behavior. For instance a child with no sense of danger might put his finger into the door jam and inadvertently get his fingers crushed if someone were to more the door. this child is without common sense until he experiences an accident or is warned and reasons that it is not safe to put fingers in the door jam. The term is used loosely by many people to describe predictable behavior that everyone is suppose to know. A machanic may describe a simple procedure of replacing a lamp light in the front end of a car and describe the parts exchange as common sense... Meaning simple and widely understood as common knowledge. So common sense is appropriate behavior in normal situations that require people to behave socially acceptable. Common sense can only be evaluated when you have an understanding of cultural norms. Actually common sense is an expression originating in England and used in England, America and some other English speaking countries. So with respect to those cultures who use the term common sense then it is international(It is local to Britain and the united states if America), otherwise no it is not international.
