This isn't normal to me

As we were talking about how our society has shaped what we think about things, I thought about it more as the day went on and yeah, it's totally true. We have already decided what is nasty just like the spit on the spoon that Sal did in class (which was gross). As we were growing up our minds have been bombarded with this kind of information which we live up to each and everyday. But of course, what we have shaped is limited to our school, or our society, or even the United States. For example the Japanese bathroom our class talked about, it's normal to Japan, but not what we, here, have shaped in our minds as to what a bathroom should really look like.

I could probably relate to some "odd" things I do with my family that isn't considered the "norm" according to what we have set the standards to be. My family is from Poland and we have some interesting foods we eat that most people would just say 'eww' to, but it's perfectly normal to me. My family, and not necessarily me, eat a dish called kiszka which is made from a mixture of animal intestines, pig's blood, and rice. Sounds gross? not to me, my parents have shaped me to think that isn't the least bit disgusting. Wanna know what we do for broken bones or bruises? We use sour milk to heal ourselves. On top of that we drink that, so if you were healing your broken arm and you got thirsty, just take a sip of the sour milk, but before you put it on yourself of course haha (:
