Pg. 92 Question 1 

This question is quite the unexpected one. The reason being is I for one can attest to the fact there a number of things that are looked over on an everyday basis which we do take for granted. As for the building we have class in, it would make sense that there are 4 elevators because our class is on the 13th floor, without them people would come to class late, be sweaty, and out of breath. Also this class meets once a week so it makes sense that we meet for three hours, because any less time we would be unable to cover all the material that is required. Now this "common sense" idea works well when looking at anything in your environment because without it a lot of things could not have been created or work as well as they do. So some things other than material or structural are effected by this ideal. Just like the common golden rule treat others as you wish to be treated. It basically just makes sense why wouldn't you want to be treated fairly and kindly. Overall this whole idea of common sense makes the majority of things in life make sense, so much so that we over look them everyday. Some times people need to stop look back and realize these things and use it as a process for tackle new problems and fine solutions.

I'm a bit confused on the points you're touching on here- seems like a bit more explanation might be a help.

Why wouldn't we expect healthy, able-bodied 18-year olds to take the stairs? We're not asking you to enter military service like other countries would at your age. We don't require you to get an physical activity. We don't provide you a reasonable athletic facility. Why isn't it common sense to ask you to take the stairs?
