Normal applies to where we live in time and place... Our culture is constantly changing.... Ex: women in 1950's are different because of what society expected of them.. and acted accordingly and nowadays.. women have more freedom and we do things now that are normal like work to bring the bread home... in 1950's it wasn't deemed normal for woman to work... Also women in other countries such as in the Middle East.. going to work will kill them... They are not allowed to work or even get an education.. If you transplant a modern woman from the U.S. and put her in an oppressed country and an Arabic woman in the U.S... they would feel the effects of culture shock... Normal has to do with your ethnic upbringing, background, experiences, religion, time and place...ect..

Alive, imperfect and irrational. Those qualities are present in all human beings.
As for the rest of human qualities, which of them are normal and which aren't varies according to the time, technology, place and culture. The social norm is, as indicated by the name, a social construction that depends solely on the social imagery that society has of itself and it's members. "Normal" is a social construction and a way that society's leaders have of controlling those that might threaten, for good or bad, the statu quo.
The concept of normal is a deeply "conservative" one, in the sense that it's there to "conserve" the statu quo and delay or even prevent any change that society might consider threatening. (even if the change is positive).

Normal is not a finite term, it is relative. it is just like warmer, colder etc/. The dividing line between normal and abnormal is very thin. But there are accepted practices in our everyday life in our society starting from brushing our teeth in the morning, eating not like animals do, to going to bed in the night. These and reactions to certain stimulants decide normal and abnormal in an human being.

Normality is a standard of doing things which is acceptable for the majority in a cuture, or society. It does not mean that this is absolutely right, but that this is the way it is done, because it is acceptable.
