The term abnormal traditionally it has been used and is used as a characteristic, to speak or account for those people who have conditions dysfunctional or rare, that is, they do not fit with the common stereotype of those who are considered as common types and streams.
Of course, fooling someone that he is abnormal or that his personality and way of acting is consistent with what has traditionally been designated as abnormal, of course, which is a absolutely subjective question, because except in very extreme cases in which in no respect a conduct understood as normal and there we could be almost sure of not making a mistake when calling or qualifying someone as abnormal, in reality, the abnormality or normal of someone will sometimes also be determined by others factors how to be the uses and traditions of a given society, the experience prior, the education, among others.
Because for example, what for some western peoples may be a rarity, such as practicing a ritual with animals, in oriental cultures it can turn out to be something super common and ordinary and that is seen all the days.
In addition and following a little the path of what we said, on many occasions and of course, wrongly, it is usually discriminated or parting with those people just because they wear strange clothes or hair, escaping universally accepted canons and stipulated by the fashion industry for example to find a culprit, then, just for this situation they are classified and label as rare.
Meanwhile, this type of procedure can become something truly dangerous because when being prevented from integrating even with their rare new hairstyles, they may be creating a profound problem of integration future in society and simply because of the fact that they are rare for the prevailing fashion and not because of some dysfunctional trait of their personality.
So it is because of this subjectivity that we talked about that the criterion of low occurrence is conventionally used. statistics to just then qualify something or someone as abnormal.
