Here is what one teacher writes about her experience: “As an introduction to social norms, I will often have used an example or actual image of some social reality when they won’texpect to see it, such as a group of bikers with their motorcycles - who happens to be women over 70. This example prompts that social stereotypes will operate in our lives even if we won’t notice them. While speaking about various social systems I will to describe capitalism like an airplane in which the pilot announces to his passengers that he will tell them two pieces of news. The good news is that if they will be traveling at the pre-established speed of 600 miles an hour all the systems on the plane are functioning perfectly. The bad news is that they are lost. This example proves that an anecdote, or story and examples serve the main purpose of bringing a concept or theory alive with relevance”.
