Normality accepted standards

Please Would you correct grammar and make sure it make sense?

The normality of something depends on the perspective of the person in question. To me normality isn't a general conception of accepted standards that most people agree with but the accept standard of the person in question. It might be normal for one person but not necessarily the accepted standards of the general population. Do you think normality depends on the perspective of the person in question or is normality something consider the accepted standard by more than the person in question?

Thank you so much

Here is how I would say this (changes in bold): The normality of something depends on the perspective of the person in question. To me normality isn't a general concept of representing accepted standards that most people agree with but is instead the private accept standard of the person in question. It might be normal for one person but not necessarily normal according to the accepted standards of the general population.

  • Notes: I would use concept (thought or idea) rather than conception (which primarily refers to pregnancy or beginnings, or, later, to a process of thought, and only incidentally to a thought or idea.

Your correction helps very much.

In the dictionary 'concept' is followed by 'of'
is it wrong to "To me normality isn't a general concept of accepted"

You wrote it
is normality something based on consider the accepted standards held by more than one the person in question?

Is it incorrect to
or is n

The form "concept of" is when you are using the word in the sense of "idea about."
I have a concept of what is right. I have an idea of what is right.

Depending on your sentence, of course, you do not always need the "of" when using "concept" as "idea."
I have a concept that I want to tell you about. I have a concept better than you have ever
