1) Explain Benedict's concept of the "normal/abnormal" and relate it with Sumner's discussion of the mores of society.

2. Explain and analyze the normal practices or norms in the cultures of the tribes described by Benedict in terms of the discussion about mores and social sanctions to maintain, preserve, and protect the welfare of one's society.

3. Compare the norms described by Benedict to our own standard of what is "normal/abnormal" in our culture. How will you justify these 'abnormal' practices?

 

Concept of Normal/Abnormal Practices

Benedict's concept of the "normal/abnormal states that a culture that is considered "normal" is fundamentally encouraged to persist; it becomes a cultural good in time and development. The societies and tribes described by Benedict are shaped by the mores and social sanctions to keep, preserve, and protect the welfare of the people. Benedict's norms are inherently linked with the standards of the "normal/abnormal "domain of the social culture. Abnormal practices are the ones whose functionality is always a challenge in a society that is institutionalized to help the abnormally strained in our culture.

Step-by-step explanation

Benedict's concept of the "normal/abnormal states that a culture that is considered "normal" is fundamentally encouraged to persist; it becomes a cultural good in time and development. As a necessary pinnacle in human development, benedict's concept relates the abnormal functions and the general social responses about what society considers rightful and accepted.

The societies and tribes described by Benedict are shaped by the mores and social sanctions to keep, preserve, and protect the welfare of the people. Normality is always good and for Bahati, deriving morality from the basics of acceptance is a show-off picture. We recognize the differing humanity, preferences, and habitual developments. Practices such as morality give the vast majority in any group of molding and plastic development. 

Benedict's norms are inherently linked with the standards of the "normal/abnormal "domain of the social culture. Abnormal practices are the ones whose functionality is always a challenge in a society that is institutionalized to help the abnormally strained in our culture. The abnormal practices are very clear that give way regardless of whatever you are doing.
