statements that may not necessarily be true

  Order Description Social science can be loosely defin" rel="nofollow">ined as the critique of commonsense. Commonsense (one word) refers to our ‘taken for granted assumptions’ about the world – in" rel="nofollow">in other words, thin" rel="nofollow">ings that we often assume to be true about society, but that we never really test out. The critique of such assumptions means scrutin" rel="nofollow">inisin" rel="nofollow">ing them more carefully, and attemptin" rel="nofollow">ing to generate alternative poin" rel="nofollow">ints of view. Of course, what is commonsense for one group of people may be problematic or even offensive for another. What follows is a list of commonsense statements, accordin" rel="nofollow">ing to the above defin" rel="nofollow">inition of commonsense. Your assignment is to choose TWO of them and explain" rel="nofollow">in (in" rel="nofollow">in 500-600 words for each statement – makin" rel="nofollow">ing a total of 1000-1200 words) why they may not necessarily be true. Australia is a democracy. Political correctness is stupid. Today’s society is more enlightened than societies of the past. Indigenous people are closer to nature. We should pay more attention to scientists.
