Debunking
Definition

can be compared to common sense Verses reality. Our common sense view can be skewed to what the reality is. An example of this would be love. Our common sense view of love is that it is a romance between to people who scare about each other, when in reality it is actually an agreement between two people. If the person you are with is not living up to their end of the agreement then generally you would leave them. Debunking is discovering the true meaning of something, the reality of it.
