What is socially acceptable?

It's a club mentality.  As we all should know, American black slaves were tragically persecuted and this name was used with vicious slander to degrade their existence to a level of inequality.  As the slaves gained freedom and modern society has evolved, the term is an insider way of being one of the club and a cultural reminder.  A person of different race, using the same term, even if attempted to be used in the same inclusive, brotherly manner, cannot expect to be recognized as one who could possibly relate, thus there is most often resentment and feelings of hostility.  It's one thing to tell people I'm a dirt bag, it's another to have someone else call me one...them's fightn' words.  Think it's a double standard?  Maybe, because it is discriminatory in its own way, excluding outsiders and promotes a negative sense of separation, holding on to a victimized past.  Then again, who didn't come from a victimized past?  If you live in America, most of our ancestors didn't come here because things were so wonderful in the old country.  They left because anything was going to be better than the life they had.  The sad difference for the blacks Africans is that they were kidnapped, forced into ships, and treated like livestock.  Most others had at least some limited choices.

just general politeness. Please and thank you or at least thanks when appropriate. Not talking about nasty, gross, or lewd things in front of mixed company. Office mainly just keep it light and professional...gossip to a minimum at least too. school, appropriate speak and dress for the age group...especially if you are a teacher. And at home just the general common sense.

Social graces have gone by the way-side.  People no longer have any idea of what is proper behavior in social situations.  The most eloquent person will apear crass and un-interesting if they present a profane arrogant front.

This is a question for the social section, not chemistry.

Human beings are social by nature. Every human being (not merely the 'youth') by virtue of their existence in a particular society, will have an obligation to be 'CIVIC MINDED' in that particular society in a limited sense and in the world community in a broader sense.

I don't think it's socially acceptable, then again it depends on the circle you run around in including the age group. Hope that helps\nCheers\nM7

It is Politically Correct to only say that everybody is perfect and no one does anything wrong.\n\noops! I don't think I answered what you were asking! I'm soo sorry! I kind of have a headache, and I guess I didn't REALLY read the last part. Should I delete my answer then?

I'll give you my view as a psychologist: the label of 'mentally ill' is just as subjective as the norms themselves! I mean, who decides what the norm will be anyway? And therefore, who can decide what is normal and what's beyond normal? The social norm is subject to culture, era, tradition, religion, etc. The only norm that can be considered somewhat objective is each person's norm; either his norm for himself, or his norm for evaluating external events. And that is formed by his own life experiences and other personal variables. For example, if your mother has a psychotic personality and your father frequently expresses neurotic symptoms, it will be absolutely normal for you to form a borderline-like behaviour system!

Human nature, plain and simple.  Gay is a word and from that word conjures up all sorts of wild thoughts of gays having orgies.  I know I have been in the presence of many conversations that are directed at gays.  I also think that heterosexuals are curious, about the why and the how could someone  be with the same sex person. Society has the upper hand on the social acceptance of a couple.  We are brought up in a society that determines what is acceptable behavior and what is not.  Gay is not acceptable, however, it is becoming more and more accepted in certain aspects of society. With education and association, our path of being taken seriously will eventually be made easier for those that follow
