How do we difine NORMAL??

Answer 1

People that go along with whatever their 'culture' perceives as normal.

Answer 2

Normal would be defined as a standard of universally accepted guidlines on behavior, thinking, interpersonal relationships, and life style activities. For example, an abnormal behavior would be a person who though exhibits all the signs of a living being, neverthe less insists that he is dead. Or someone who would try to defy a known law of physics and throw themselves off a ten story building and believe he will float softly to the ground with no external aids. The Bible sets a standard for what is considered normal. Love God with all your heart, mind and strength, and your neighbor as yourself.

Answer 3

We don't. But perhaps you do. Having a disability my relationship with normal was somewhat optional. It's seldom a useful concept where I come from. Normal is based on normative data which is defined by averages and statistics that quantify characteristics, in health care. This is further complicated by Bean counters in the government. But people aren't data, so it's rather a weird arrangement don't you think?

Answer 4

I'm not exactly sure what we define at all. Before anything is defined, a purpose needs to be agreed upon. Because, purpose and function will define things for you.
Normal? In what context? As opposed to what? In regards to 'abnormal?' Typical or atypical? Ordinary or extraordinary?
There are a thousand directions you can go with this.
Normally, I don't respond to queries of this type.

Answer 5

Normal is the method of having a lifestyle that adapts to the majority of your culture or racial demographic.It could pertain to a state or a country...whatever the circumference of your normal...like a state or country gets more harder to define.Like what is a normal person for the entire world...how could you have all the charistics of a normal person that every person in the world would think you are normal?As a christian I think normal is defined as a person who abides as ethics to "the ten commandments" and love Jesus more than the world,even loving HIM more that your mother,father or wife.That's normal...but...to most of the world is abnormal."Love not the world,or the things in it".Have a blessed day in Christ.

Answer 6

Normal is different for everyone.

Its all about perception. It might be normal for a skunk to smell its own stinky odor, but its not normal, and offensive for other animals and people to smell that.

It might be normal in one house to scrub and clean all day long, and into the night, daily, while in another house, its not normal to clean more than once a month, or something.

Normal is whatever feels right to the individual.

Answer 7

Normal is a standard on which a huge majority agree. It's not "normal" to Americans to eat snails. But it is normal to the French. That isn't saying that no Americans eat snails or that all French eat snails, it's just a matter of averages.

Answer 8

The normal is a line that makes an angle of 90º with another line. In other words, a perpendicular.

Answer 9

Normal now days is definied by telivision magazines and your freinds
I define normal as how you feel about your self so there really is no such thing as normal because you never feel like yourself every morning night and day

Answer 10

What's NORMAL for me isn't necessarily NORMAL for you. In the EMS field normal is defined as "being the way you usually are. So it depends on each one of us what's the norm for ourselves. Like it's normal for a duck to quack but if a chicken quacked it wouldn't be normal.

Answer 11

the status quo although impossible to achieve as to be normal is only to be what society deems it to be at that moment and as society is ever changing so therefore there can not truly be a normality as soon as the norm is changed the old is now not normal
