Is common-sense a concept?

Oh yes, today's question... is common sense a concept by definition of what concept is?
~a philosophical query :P

"Art for moral sake" or "Art for life's sake" ??? --The second counter approach!

"Art for art's sake" ..yeah that's what we studies in the history of literature, as how have the works of literature- the novels, poetry, dramas- as so far their authors ..who are governed and imitate the principle or what overwhelms them as logic or idea true!--: are oh "art for art's sake" and "art for morality sake" (well well, that there is a pedagogical element too, that must be given rule over our impetus nerves). Now that in our lecture of Jan 5, 2015 we were conveyed that there are two approaches as for the taste of laureates of literature (the authors) .. "art for art's sake" and "art for life's sake". Then ooh! where goes the monument of "art for moral sake" that we studied in our preceding chapters-- ??

Oh am i calling for rote-learning. Oh no no- Just that the juxtapose of two ideas are making my comprehension go dead! :P

P.S
We are studying Victorian Period.

I wonder--

Are there any tone-less languages? o.O

Talkative friend--

Well, in our phonetics and phonology class, we were studying "intonation" ..and then the tone-types. When 'falling tone' came to discussion, sir pointed that it is an indicator of that the speaker is done! Rising tone, employed when taking pause in middle of discussion... Ending statement with rising tone indicates that the audience is supposed to expect more coming from the Speaker.  Haha, now that struck to me the image of my friend. She is so damn talkative, that i wonder less, rather confirmed.. "are not the folks talkative, with not possessing falling-tone then?" :v Sir rather laughted at the thought-

chalti jaye.. chalti jaye  ...upra wa jumla ka matbl ei ke 'O bahut sasura kanjoos ae, sala sasura 'falling-tone' eich nai rakhta-
hm confusjya jate  ..kb sasura band hoing
hm ko remotwa do bhai
in ka estatement rising-tone pe khatam hota
remotwa se in ko fix kr de ga-

And so added, so sizzled one of my classmates by saying.. "sir un ko zabardasti chup karana parta hai" ..Lol!

Alfred Tennyson- reading aids!

So, what is this laureate? My memory always miss on that- So, the doc Google says: "a person who is honored with an award for outstanding creative or intellectual achievement." Well, I am studying Tennyson- who is dictated as poet laureate!
Another query that rises is that could we call him a national poet?
Well, yes I suppose because his poetical tendency begins where the mark of social conditions of England begin. He indeed fixed for the future generations the essence and the spirits of his age.
Another query, what is Cremian war?
 The Crimean War, also known in Russian historiography as the EasternWar of 1853–1856 (October 1853 – February 1856), was a conflict in which Russia lost to an alliance of France, Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia.
 Sardina- what is that?
And if that is what refers to Crimean war, then what does 2nd world war refers to. Sorry, I am weak in that subject :3 ..

Ethos: “the distinguishing character, sentiment, moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution; also : ethic.”
