A large number of people around the world mistakenly conclude that sociology is simply "the study of the obvious" and the application of common sense, this statement could not be further from the truth. Common sense comes from statements like “opposites attract,” however sociological sense takes this belief and runs numerous tests to find out whether it is fact or fiction. Bauman views commonsense knowledge and commonsense interpretations as powerful social mechanisms that can fundamentally shape attitudes toward the world in which humans live. Sociology is the "social science" that studies human behavior and characteristics based on their development within society. Common sense, however, is what a person has learned from society through his or her socialization. Michael Jacobson illustrates Bauman's view on common sense: "Defamiliarization shatters the impenetrable walls of common sense that prevent us from experiencing and understanding the world in new ways." Bauman's argument describes that humans have grown up with changes in society and are now dependent on "common sense" due to a lack of interest in exploring more deeply the world they live in. This is reiterated further as Jacobson continues to exemplify Bauman's argument, "he always points to the yet-to-be-discovered human potential and the – in principle – limitless possibilities waiting to be discovered by humanity beyond the binding confines of common sense ". Bauman persistently disputes that if the human race distanced itself from any beliefs it has heard, or has grown up with, that originate from common sense, it would discover a world with greater potential. I reviewed three educaio-based articles. ..... at the center of the paper ......life from unexpected and unexplored angles, constructing what is known as strange'. This strategy constitutes the link between sociological sense and common sense. Common sense expects the individual to believe in society's concepts and does not further one's understanding by deciphering a certain belief as a sociologist. For example, the common sense belief that opposites attract, when examined carefully appears that people are more likely to appear attractive if they share things in common with another person than if they had very different beliefs. This is the concept of sociology according to Bauman.Works CitedHurd, GE & Johnson, TJ (1963) Education and Development. Journal of Sociological Review. Vol 15, No.1, pp59-7.
