The dictionary defines it as, "Conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural".
However, it really depends on what region of the world you are living in. Some customs of a certain race of people may seem absolutely absurd to people in America, but in their home country it would be a common, everyday thing.
Normal is very subjective, but I would say consumption led sheeple are the norm today. Go to any Wal-mart or mall and you will find hundreds of these "normal" people grazing the edge of credit card debt, trying to buy happiness or whatever it is they need to conform to their peer group. Of course there are sub-categories to every category, so normal is still subjective.
I think normal depends on point of view. Such as people in other countries or social groups may dress,act,eat,ect.. differently than you and you may see it as strange, but to them its normal
"If everyone was weird, would being weird be normal?"
A person can be normal for one group, and weird for another. It's all about context of the group, and how well an individual matches the characteristics of the group.
There is no such thing as "normal" If you are per say:"normal" then why were you created? Maybe its because I'm christian, but I think God created us all to be DIFFERENT. No two people are different. If I am "normal" then how come I am the only person I know who does a certain thing? If everybody was "normal" just think of these two questions. Why were we created? and Wouldn't the world be very boring if everybody was "normal, I mean, everybody would be the same.
Actually, I have never watched chris Crocker. I only asked this because i keep getting called 'abnormal'. i was wondering the definition, so dont assume stuff to easily
I don't really think there is a universal normality but as many people have said there is regional normality. Also to your last comment people call other people abnormal to make them feel bad and them feel good, personally I think being abnormal is better than being normal.
Im pretty sure its normal to be abnormal... therefore.... Mmmm paradoxes.
Also, are we talking about normal in body or mind? Or both, I suppose. A normal person would probably have a body that functions, have all their appendages and body parts... though the appendix would be negotiable, I suppose. Normal is a statistic based on the majority, so whatever the majority of people are, is normal.
Therefore, if the majority of people are abnormal, that is normal. Whatever the majority of people look like is normal, and however the majority of people act is normal.
