IDEAS OF PROJECT

it could be a project showing what is accepted to be normal and what it is not accepted to normal in the/this world/society; for example, in my current project, what is accepted to be normal is when my friend, Jiawei is doing her meditation inside, in her bedroom, by repeating the mantra hare krishna, eyes closed and holding her japa bead necklace. This activity is seen completly appropriate when done indoors in a private place with no one around, a place like one's room or inside one's house is totally appropriate for a kind of meditation like this which is normally done while sitting.on the other, what is not (cannot/may not) accepted to be normal is when this meditative practice is done outside in the middle of the day in the streets, in a neighborhood, or in any place where there's people around. For example, it could be felt weird or even crazy to see someone chanting/repeating words holding a bead necklace in both hands while walking or standing, outside in the middle of day. Some people unaware of this activity would think that what the woman is doing is crazy or could think that the person is crazy herself. The question "what does this woman is doing outside in the middle of day wondering like that?";While for other people who are aware of this practice of meditation, it is common for some to do it outside. Even my friend Jiawei who herself would not do it outside, have seen many times people doing their chanting meditation walking in the streets like that. And it is not weird for her as well as for them. It is just a shift of perspective and of what one has thought to be normal and what has thought to be unusual.
