I think those two questions are definitely a good way of determining how abnormality is seen in society and why:)
I wonder whether people would react the same way if they were raised to view incest as acceptable, because I don't think they would be so repulsed by it. Maybe a little bit because I think it's almost instinct to not be attracted to family, but I think a lot of people may accept it.
When you look at the treatment gay people received 100 years ago and compare it to now, it's clear that we're more accepting, because we've been raised to believe homosexuality is acceptable, because it is. Maybe in 100 years people will be thinking the same and wondering why it was so frowned upon. I'm not sure if it ever will, but maybe that's because I've been raised to believe so.
