Trevor D. 2 February 2014 Writing Project: Sociology and Common Sense Science has helped mankind “correct our seriously flawed cognition and give us an unfiltered view of reality” (Hill). The particular science that studies “society and human behavior” is sociology (Henslin‚ 6). Sociology should be used to better understand why people react to a particular subject.

Common Core‚ the "essential for success in college‚ career‚ and life in today’s global economy‚" according to their website‚ corestandards.org.

Equity is frequently referred to as a supplement to the common law. Cruzon defines Equity as a system of law developed by the court of chancery in parallel with the common law. It was designed to complement it‚ providing remedies for situations that were unavailable at Law.

The end of the play suggests that it is Othello who is responsible for the tragedy that unfolds as it was him that ended up murdering Desdemona and committing suicide.

Common sense has no form of value that would allow it to contribute to
