Norms are appropriate behavior in specific situations.
Stereotypes are labels which are put onto a person to discriminate them, expectations which are what people are likely to do. On the surface we see them as just that, however, when those things are perceived as how they effect our driving philosophies, a whole new perspective is opened to us, some of these being issues of control and compliance, intimidation and fear, or plain patterns of self destructiveness. For instance, in class discussion we spoke of a few gender differences in driving. If a car breaks down, it is more expected of a man to know what to do and more expected of a woman to stand on the side of the road until help arrives. Men are more likely to criticize other drivers to where the other driver can hear them and women are more likely to criticize other drivers to themselves out of fear of retaliation.
