"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" = nếu bạn là một cái búa thì nhìn đâu cũng thấy đinh cả -> cụm từ này nghĩa là khó có thể nhìn rõ vấn đề nếu dựa quá nhiều vào một công cụ, phương pháp hoặc quan niệm, nếp suy nghĩ nào đó.

Ví dụ
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. So goes the proverb (tục ngữ), attributed (được cho là) to Abraham Maslow, that explains why every major tech company seems to want to stream video games over the internet.

The "law of the instrument," sometimes referred to as "Maslow's hammer," is a theory of cognitive (liên quan đến nhận thức) bias (thiên hướng) that's summed up in this useful expression: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail, and the Joker is a hammer. As a character he comes with a certain cultural understanding: he’s evil (tồi tệ, xấu xa). Will the average viewer take this story as a nuanced examination of how not to treat the less fortunate, or will they view the violence and hatred (căm ghét) as just another example of the Joker being evil?
