Sunstein examines shifting understandings of what's normal and how those shifts account for the feminist movement, the civil rights movement, the rise of Adolf Hitler, the rise of gun rights, the response to COVID-19, and changing understandings of liberty. Prevailing norms include the principle of equal dignity, the idea of not treating the press as an enemy of the people, and the social unacceptability of open expressions of racial discrimination.

What is Normal? It can be one of two things. For us, it’s a town, a home, a place of comfort. Normal is also a standard, a state, a condition.But what are these standards, states, and conditions, and why are they relevant? I’m Miranda and I’m Shivani. More than just our quaint town, Normal suggests following societal rules and constructs When we grew up in Normal we learned what is Normal defined by Normal.
