Uhm, common sense is a term with a number of definitions, and
it typically is a construct of anthropology (in a broader sense
of the word). One more or less "formalised" view is by Kant,
Sensus Communis. (It's a long time I had a chance to even look
at this one.)   Anyway common sense it is conceptualised with 
different frames of reference in mind.
There is at best a correlation, like: this aggregate of persons
might think P about subject S, whereas another aggregate of persons
thinks Q about S, so there is a P-common sense among P-people,
and a Q-common sense among Q-people.

 So comon sense does not exist in an absolute sense, and it
is certainly formed. This can be seen in studies that
have employed ethnomethodology in various worldwise or
regional comparisons.
It doesn't exists in an absolute sense unless ideas (in the sense
of ideology, prejudice, preconceptions, etc) have a material
counterpart and and "idea-matter" does not depend on time, place,
human beings, ...

For example, when you ask Ada programmers, they might say
common sense dictates software production procedures of type A,
whereas when you ask managment people, they might say
common sense dictates software production procedures of type B.
