Discussion/ Week 2/ Question #3

What is normal to one person may not be normal to another. Emily was obviously disturbed in some way, but that does not make her a horrible person.She likes to keep her loved ones bodies even after they have already expired, so that does make her behavior strange. Although Emily had a different way of expressing her grief, that does not mean she was incapable of being in love.I do believe she is well aware of her feelings and is capable of loving someone, but she doesn't know how to express her love in a healthy manor. Meaning she does not know how to properly release a loved one emotionally or grieve. She is fully capable of loving someone, but I do not think society would expect her form of grief. The form of grief she used would be viewed as disturbing from a number of stand points, and I can not in vision a society that would define this behavior as normal. I do not agree that society defines sanity; however I do believe people make judgements before facts are presented.For obvious reasons, I think this behavior would be classified as unsanitary for her health mentally and physically. That classification is not for society to decide, and that's why I do not agree that society defines sanity. Professional doctors would be able to define that behavior, and society is available to judge, not to define.
