What is Normal? Lorber’s Believing is Seeing: Biology as Ideology In her article Believing is Seeing‚ Judith Lorber writes of the very fine line between gender and sex. She argues that neither sex nor gender is a pure category of classification. They are more so just a combination of the two of them in the social construction of gender statuses. Her article uses sports and technological competence to show how society transforms physiological differences into gendered social bodies. Lorber’s perspective

word “normal” really even has a meaning. My normal is different than someone else’s normal and the two different types of normal should not be compared. As I said before I do not think everyone in the world has a mental illness‚ but I do think nearly everyone does have a mental illness as some point in their life. With that being said‚ who is to say normal isn’t having a mental illness versus not having one. If more people do than don’t‚ wouldn’t it make more sense to say the majority is normal? I think

I thought the book did a good job of covering the important facts of racism in psychology because when you look at psychology now in my opinion; it has become more diverse than ever. Before I read the book‚ I didn’t know if I was quite ready to read it since it was going to be about racism in the field of psychology. While reading

love the peace of mind knowing there weren’t rats lurking in your walls? Rats create many problems in the world and I believe we should eliminate all rats. One reason rats need to be eliminated is they spread diseases. According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control) rats spread hemmoragic fever‚ Lassa fever‚ Leptospinosis‚ and many more.

I think most people genuinely believe they would "do the right thing" and are likely to be a proactive citizen in a bystander group. But when the moment comes‚ it really does take a confident and swift thinking individual to rise to the occasion
