so who/what is 'normal'
speaking as an epieptic to all people with or living with epileptics normal is considered what is socially and culturally acceptable but, social and cultural will change normal thus altering the concerns of cognitive social psychology. !STRANGE AH if you were born with epilepsy you are 'normal' you just have fits, simple enough ah but, if you have had a bad hit to the head you probably will end up having epilepsy because of brain trauma. It is from this that (from experiance and a degree course in psychology i speak) i can say, epilepsy is not your (there) problem it is cognition. Because of the brain dammage the cognition (thinking processing responce time) causes you/them to appear to be not 'normal' thus although they/you may pysically be appealable a patronisation comes in between them/you and the 'partner' and 'we' become unloveable as sex objects. We are viewed as ohh or ahh or poor thing not come here i want you now? Phenomenological psychology at face value can be a most beneficial for understanding and/or revealing an individuals "self" through its uninterrupted methodology through the use of Free Association Narrative Interviewing (FANI) to establish a subjects "self". This is where there is a difference Basically it is all about and quite simply means,'talk to them/us, give them/us time to process what has been said and to think of a reply. You will be very supprised at how clever people actually are and--how sexy/lovable. WHAT? Simple really, as Socroties once implied 'why should society follow each other like sheep. We all have an opinion and a brain to process our thoughts. Why then should we accept 'normal/fashionable' simply because the majority says it is. Equally, Normal is based on a majority rule so who is right and even if normal (majority of) has an opinion why cant we challenge it and say 'your wrong?. I have a different life style to you. Am i wrong or are you, should the answer be based on a survey of 'majority rule (whats normal) or should we accept that we are both right and then look for a common ground that we can both agree to be normal. Why should we be ailianated because we need sticks/wheelchairs and have fits. We are quite simply 'normal', yes, the same as you if given the chance we can hold down a job if allowed to do it in our own time and can be 'normal' if given the chance so hey lets work together on this. On this blogg you will find links for help, love, holidays?? and accademic fact finding solutions in 'romance and epilepsy'. check it out. we dont bite and most peoples reasons for not geting involved with or objections are based upon there fear of 'the unknown--us.
