Definition: A characteristic or property that particular things have in common.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look today,
At a word that’s important, come what may!
We’re talking about ‘universal,’ you see,
Let's break it down for you and me.
The dictionary tells us, clear and bright,
"A characteristic or property, shining light!"
It says things share something, a common trait,
That connects them all, don't hesitate!
Think of it like this, a lovely rhyme,
Something that’s
everywhere
, in space and time.
Like the sun – its warmth is universal too,
Affecting everyone, me and you!
Or water - it’s vital, wet and free,
A universal need for all to see.
So 'universal' means widespread, it’s true,
Something that applies to
me
and
you
.
It’s a shared trait, a common design,
Let’s make sure you understand this fine!
Now, does anyone have an example they can share? Don’t be shy, let's hear from you!
