SORU:

Why are norms not always the basis for abnormal behaviors?


CEVAP:

There might be disagreements among different groups regarding what correct and suitable behavior is. For instance, homosexuality can be acceptable in some parts of large societies while it is defined as an abnormal behavior by some groups in the same society. When considered from this point of view, although norms are often taken into consideration while evaluating abnormal behaviors, they are not suitable criteria to make such a decision because norms are not universal and may change in time.
