How do you interpret that quote?

At the conclusion of Wednesday’s lecture, I showed the class a quote by the writer, Albert Camus, who said something like, “nobody realizes that people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.”

How do you interpret that quote? Why do you think I showed you that quote?

When you write up your response, please reference lecture material and Durkheim’s reading “What Makes Sociology Different.”

Your response must be between 600-700 words.
