Thank You Rocketship...What is Normalcy II?


" What an interesting question!!

I think each of us usually thinks we're 'normal' and often can't understand why others think the way they do.

Normality (behavior) ... Normal is also used to describe individual behaviour that conforms to the most common behaviour in society (known as conformity). Definitions of normality vary by person, time, place, and situation – it changes along with changing societal standards and norms"
. Rocketship

Yes.. to the definition of normality (behavior)

"Definitions of normality vary by person, time, place, and situation – it changes along with changing societal standards and norms."

People and circumstances change what is normality....we see it in each generation...What was "normal" fifty ago isn't normal today..

But here's the question that exists today that didn't exist then....
In the past... people changing.. affected society....and not the other way around..

A changing society, changes normality.. But the question now is how does the idea of society changing normality change people?

People change the society.. but today some are trying to figure how they can change society to change people.. to a different normality..

It's happening Now... right in front of your eyes...In the past people couldn't see what and how it was happening..they were doing it..but didn't realize it..
Today.. if you can SEE it happening.. You're not the one doing it.

This for a lot of the rest of world.. is normal.. to change society to change people.
It has happened in the past, many times...... Nazi Germany, Muslim countries, Communism, Autocrats, and Kings and Queens...But NOT in AMERICA....

In America it's been tried but "WE THE PEOPLE" have always prevented it..
WE THE PEOPLE.. always think we are in charge... It the basis of our FREEDOM. to decide our own FATE.. To create a society that reflects ALL of US....That a Society does NOT affect people.. But people, with their RESPECT for each other.. "WE THE PEOPLE decide our own SOCIETY.

It's been a given for so long.. we have forgotten....What makes US what we are..

For those who actually realize what they are doing....They come to the realization.. that any acceptance.. no matter how slight is the prelude to accepting it ALL...Any battle won.. wins the war...They can't do it all at once.. They chisel away..until our freedom become unrecognizable. If THEY control society..THEY control the people... And that which we never realized we were doing..become the realization it's been done to US.
It won't be recognizable as Nazi Germany, Muslim countries, Communism, or a King and Queen... it will different in the WHAT... but the HOW EXACTLY the same. It won't the AMERICA we make. It will be a different kind of AMERICA.. that will Force US to become NORMAL.
They come right out and say it... Can't YOU hear it?
You don't need to dissect it, analyses it.. find fault in it....It says it all
NATIONALISM.. A NEW and BETTER America?..
It will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Quoting Rocketship:......I think that those with power and influence [money], have always manipulated societal norms to their advantage.

I don't think any country was ever immune.

It's only now, in our much more open and advanced information era that many,[but of course not all], of those manipulations are revealed.


********

Yes...that's it
But it was never blatant.. It was always.. like women who get men to do what they want.. by having them think it's their idea. LOL
We knew it was happening. but it was still our idea..so we thought.

But now.. it's blatant..Nationalism is a blatant social idea. It's not about convincing people it's right.. It's about getting people to conform to it...Not getting people to believe it's right.. It's getting people to accept it. It means it doesn't need a reason to do something.. It's just becomes a justification for doing something..It's its own reason

Okay the joke I made above..is both an example and a justification, that women should be well aware of... from a social standpoint....Nationalism is like being a man....men do stuff.. and for somethings.... their only reason and justification is because the are a man.

Thank you rocketship.. this is how .. I need to have a discussion.. Not because i'm right and some else is wrong.. It because my idea are too scattered and aren't succinct enough to explain.. It takes other people.. to HELP ME..explain it...It takes other people to put my thoughts in ORDER..
I rarely come up with an complete original thought...Unless Other people help me.

I can't write a totally original poem, I can't think of it, myself.... some else has to supply me the KEY to open that door.
the last poem I wrote was on WellKnownAuthor's blog.. If I hadn't read his poem . I never would have written mine. It wasn't so much a response... as it was him giving me key to open my mind. It wasn't to negate his poem..it was to share my thought with him..The thought he lead me to, not a thought against what he had to say. That's what I do, and I do it ALL THE TIME

Most, who take the time and do a bit of thinking, can usually understand what you're trying to say, Jiminy.

Just keep on doing your thing~~

    Quoting  :

yes.. normal doesn't make sense.....as we try to draw a line somewhere between.....nobody is "normal"......and everybody is "normal".
