normalizim

System of graded and measurable categories and intervals in which individual subjects can be distributed around a norm. For example, western medicine and judiciary systems have increansingly appealed to statistical measures and distributions to judge what is normal. This leads, for example, not only to classifications of what is sane and mad but also to degrees of “mental illness”.
