What’s normal?

Normal is a ‘setting’ on a washing machine.

In psychology, normal is highly overrated.

I love these types of questions. Good one Bratti "Normal" is a about what is considered acceptable, legal and/or expected behaviour according to the rules and mores of the social/ cultural/ religious group an individual is in. It doesn't mean those rules are all right/ moral/ or acceptable to you and me. Like it's normal and acceptable - maybe even compulsory..:P..to wear next to nothing on an Australian or Brazilian beach. But try doing it on a Saudi Beach. But murder/ robbery/ rape etc are illegal everywhere. But in some cultures they are still committed with impunity by people (Mostly powerful men) They are not behaving legally but they are behaving "normally". In short what is normal these days is almost impossible to define

Re: What’s normal?

The norm is what is deemed to be OK behaviour in your peer group at any given time or activity.
Cultural norms vary, as do societal ones, driven by many factors and influences and can create rifts and divides, but just as equally unite.

It is not normal for me to sound so serious...

Thanks Bratti. YOu too ! If I am asked, I am happy to offer an opinion on this kind of thing any time. I made the mistake of offering an unsolicited opinion on a not entirely unrelated issue recently here. It did not go well. And probably my fault that it didn't. I wasn't looking for a fight but I got one. So in hindsight, I think I should have kept my opinion to myself. So I have been reluctant to go there since.

Re: What’s normal?

I suppose normal is whatever you as an individual are comfortable with....but then again your normal could make other people uncomfortable...it's one of those questions you go around in circles with.

Well you should always be able to state your opinion as long as you aren’t intentionally hurting anyone. It’s your born right.
