In your opinion, what is normal?

Answer 1

...are you david tangonan

Answer 2

Everything that exist should be normal.Everything that does not exist should not be normal.

In math they use the term as well...I am not a mathematician but I believe they refer to some common model between a number of fluctuations...

Answer 3

Normal is a concept. It is that which is accepted by the majority as being acceptable and unsurprising.

That does not mean to say that what is accepted as "normal" in given place and time is actually just, fair or right. "Normal" varies with where, when and who you are.

Answer 4

Aahh my specialty...

everything and nothing.

Everything cause everyone is different and nothing cause it should take the form of what one wants.

Answer 5

What is natural is what is normal. What is in harmony with the rest of life and in the fulfillment of God's divine plan is what is normal. What is normal for humans is to be seeking God and what is normal for the rest of life is evolution toward being a human. Once a soul evolves to a human, the soul needs to counter the experiences from it's last animal life by practicing a spiritual life in order to remove the impressions of being an animal that are now preventing the human soul from knowing God. Humans need to practice being forgiving, non-violent, caring, loving, which are the opposite actions of animals.

Answer 8

   Plastic personalities conforming to the plastic world around them.

Answer 9

A loose framework of behavior and habits deemed ideal that the people in a society leans towards but no one matches up to.

Answer 10

Normality evolves and it is determined by rules and standards of acceptability of a society as a whole. "Normal" usually meant "good" before the 20th century.

Answer 11

Normal effectively exists mathematically, and mathematically, sometimes there is no normal.

Normal is the statistical average, and the things that arrange around the average.

There are several mathematical methods of measing the average (not to be confused with the mean) and some allow you to have 2 different averages.

Normal is just the typical.

For example, if I had to choose betwen 2 people and the only think i know about them is the colour of their skin, I would choose the white person over the black person for a job requiring education, while for a job requiring physical strength, I would choose the black person.

Because the normal indicates this is the best choice. However if I could gather other information about them I would make choices based on useful information, because skin colour is a poor predictor of these education and physical ability.

In addition the spread and diversity is huge, such that even if white people are more intelligent (on average) than black people, there are still many black people who are much smarter than me and smarter than most white people.

So what is normal, it is just the typical representation of a person should you know nothing else about them.
