In European society, the word ‘common sense’ meant ‘the internal comprehensive judgment’ until the 17th century. However, this word altered into the meaning of ‘the common knowledge of average people’ in the process of religious reformation, and it became a core word which stood against the authority of the Pope. Common sense showed its great power during European civil wars and the War of Independent of the US. Also, it is still the most fundamental criteria of the logical politic.
Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy, eventually resigned from the premiership because he could not bear the pressure of public according to the financial crisis. This decision has been the focus of the public attention because of his private life tainted by scandals, financial failure, and corruption.
There are various predictions about this 75-year-old man’s future. Someone says that he is returning back to the president of AC Milan that he owns while some others say he will hide out overseas due to his charge of juvenile prostitution, power abuse, tax evasion of his enterprise, subornation of perjury, bribery, and others; however, the prevailing prediction is that he who never live without the spotlight will rise like a phoenix and will seek surging back again with increased way.
It is such a mystery that he could be appointed the Prime Minister three times for 10 years of his 17-year political life. How in the world did Italian people vote for a figure like Berlusconi three times? It is not still understandable.
