1. In your own words describe why the term 'normal' depends on your own values.
Guidance: Discuss how ‘normal’ is a value-laden, excluding concept that often prevents acknowledgment of the diversity of people, their life experiences and situations.

the word ’normal’ is a value-laden, excluding concept that often precludes acknowledgement of the diversity of people, their life experiences and situations, the principles of equal employment opportunity, sex, race, disability, anti-discrimination and similar legislation and the implications for work and social practices, the role and use of language and cultural interpreters

[Lorina]

Here is an example:

The word ‘normal’ or ‘norms’ is a value-laden concept that does not take into consideration the diversity of people, their life experiences and situations.
Rephrase sentences to exclude the word ‘normal’ or ‘norms’ to describe people.

For example, rather than saying ‘It is normal for Australians to speak English,’ say ‘Most Australians speak English’. You are then showing recognition of the differences in others and also encouraging others to recognise this.
