A "norm" is something that is usual, typical or standard in a defined population. It seems to me likely that in most if not all societies the behaviors that are usual, typical and/or standard, that is, the behaviors that are normal, are not those behavious of every member of that society, that there are individuals whose behavior is unusual or atypical or nonstandard, that is, not normal. To preserve the utility of the term and the concept, it is well to commit to the idea that a normal behavior of a specific group is not also a "not normal" behavior of that same group. Normality implies nothing of health, only of what is usual, standard or typical. Good music, too, just not normal. Cheers and thank you !!!
