What is normal?

In response to: http://jodibrooke.blogspot.com/2008/03/what-is-normal.html
I agree with Jodi, in the sense that the media has too much of an impact on the way women; espically with clothing, cosmetic surgery, and weight. The majortiy of actors and actresses on television shows are extremly small, in the sense that their weight and waiste size are much smaller than that of the average person. This puts more pressure on those watching the shows to want to look more like their "idols". So once again in response to Jodi's question... what exactly is normal? Well, the media has their own view on normal, but different groups and different religions and so on all have different outlooks on what exactly normal is. Normal will be chaning with society, the media changes what normal is every year: with fashion, hair, skin color, etc. I just hope more people can learn to accept who they are and not what the media wants them to buy into and become.
