One Person's EXTREME Is Another's NORMAL

What may be normal, rational and mainstream to you, may be very radical, weird, or extreme to someone else. Who is to judge? Take these examples and see which of these are extreme or radical to you and which are normal and mainstream? How do you define EXTREME? How do you define RADICAL? How do you define NORMAL? How do you define MAINSTREAM?
The above photo was taken on a beach in Saudi Arabia. Most people there would probably find this very normal and mainstream, and not radical or extreme at all. However a Christian woman in the U.S.A. may find this kind of modesty extreme. Perhaps some may even find it offensive or oppressive to women's freedom. 
This above photo of a woman in a two piece bikini swimsuit on the beach may be mainstream and normal to Americans, but may be seen as extreme and radical to a conservative Muslim person, because it is very immodest and may invoke lust from men.
Now, this above photo, may seem very normal to an American lesbian woman, but may offend both the conservative Muslim person and many heterosexual people. In this case it may not be so much what they are wearing, but that they are two same-sex people showing affection in a public place.
And finally, above, we have a heterosexual couple showing affection on the beach, but in this case they are totally nude and very much immodest! This may offend people from Muslim, Christian and homosexual communities. So see how things can be extreme to one person and not to another? Tell us your thoughts, views and comments below:
