Social Norms Project Social norms are behaviors that are deemed acceptable by our society. An example of a social norm is when you are at a signal light, you mind your own business and don’t communicate with neighboring cars. For my project I broke this social norm. Every time I was at a signal light, I would wave at neighboring car like a friendly person and see how they would respond.

The question inquired is whether raising the driving age to 18 or imposing a graduated driver’s license (GDL) would lower the accident raise for teens. The advocates for both say that the restrictions would lower allow teens to get behind the wheel when they are ready. Although neither would work well, one must be chosen.

fun things you could do if you wanted to. When you’re focused on your electronics, time flies by really fast and you aren't doing anything.

From the poem, “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan, it talks about how what you say and do to people can have an impact on their lives. The image chosen with symbolism is a highway with cars on it.

Some cars might die or stall out where they can’t keep going because many believe that cars that look like trash or aren’t like them can’t make it. It is just like people. Many believe that if they aren’t
