What makes someone normal?

[seagullondon]

I was just wondering, what your views were on what makes a person normal or not?

What actually is a "normal" person?

Depends what you define normal as

Depends what you define normal as

and for you, how would you define normal?

 

[BrickTamland]

Normal is defined on a place/cultures views on values and norms. These are taught though primary sociolization and then developed with broader values (usually depending on the mindset of the youth) during secondary socialization which happens through school and meeting new people through out your life. There is no such thing as 'normal' as everyone is different. Different families within different cultures within different generations do things differently and there is no 'right and wrong'. I knew one day my AS level in sociology come in useful!

Females are not normal.

Normal? good question. I would like to think im pretty normal, but my perception of normal and yours may be completely different.

It is the ability to reason well, with whatever you encounter.

Normal is blending in and not standing out

 

[JetsetJimbo]

I'm normal. Everyone else is weird.

Next question please.

no such thing because everyone's definition is different...........some may look at a skateboarding 60-year old transvestite with green hair in brighton and think they're not normal....to others they are

nothing abnormal with that, excellent example

Normal is defined by abnormality.
Thus, we know that palace don't wash and they smell abnormally bad - and that defines how the boundaries of normality are measured.

a normal person is someone who has transcended culture imprints and childhood conditioning......to obtain a more 'normal' state.

a bit broad I know, but I've always seen 'normal' people as those who don't treat other people like shit and can more or less get on with other 'normalos'

There's a thread on here at the moment populated by people who I would definitely not class as normal.
