There is no such thing as "normal".
Our society is going through several changes that people are not ready for. For examples, for some reason there are some individuals that are scared or not accepting the fact that there is a diversity within the population. It is ignorant to think that everyone has to be exactly the same and act "normal". There is no such thing as "normal" in our society. This word has a different representation to every person because they have there own image of the perfect of how men and women are suppose to be. Gender norms and stereotypes cause conflict and arguments to arise because people choose to show their individuality and personality to stand out within the crowd. In a speech written by Judith Butler called phylosophe she shares a story of a young man that was killed just because he was different and did not fit the "normal" characteristics of a man. Killing a man can not be justified by the fact that he acted feminine or had a certain hop to his walk. Who are we to judge who is as a person? We all have the liberty to express ourselves however we like. Our society needs to realize the more they push and support this conduct, we will see some terrible outcomes that will be hard to prevent once the damage is done. Everyone deserves the right to be treated the same way as everyone else.

Although some people may not feel comfortable with the way others carry themselves, it does not give them the right to terminate that persons life. Being completely honest I sometimes feel uncomfortable around people that are homosexuals, but that does not give me the right to go around killing them because of that. Our world is constantly changing and we have to learn to evolve like we have always done whether we like it or not. The right to judge is up to god not me so as long as what others are doing does not effect me or my family in a negative way I will not have a problem. I agree with you when you say "There is no such thing as "normal" in our society" because who is to determine what is normal and what is not. What is "normal" is just what people are raised up to believe it is.
ReplyDeleteIn any way it is not right to kill someone because they do not comply to the gender norms. Society did created the concept of "normality." If one does not follow this he or she will be judged or something worse. I believe that everyone should be allowed to be themselves. Maybe our world be more diverse and would create unity. I believe everyone being almost the same creates chaos to this world
