Storyline

First, they were doing assignment.

Invite to lunch by their friend.

The guys are unable to drive then Julie offers to fetch all of them.

She doesn’t know the road to McDonald’s so Algel guide them to destination.

However, Algel actually did not know how to go to that place.

They lost direction, then they decided to use gps.

Finally they reached the McDonald’s.

Stereotyping Women were stereotyped as bad

drivers.

Women are seen as more dangerous and less confident in the field of driving.

There are lots of jokes about women making silly mistakes or being unable to park when behind the wheel.

Sexism Sexism is the belief that the members of one sex,

usually women, are less intelligent or less capable than those of the other sex and need not be treated equally.

Speaking of accidents, men may get into serious/fatal accidents more but this is only because overall men do far more driving than women. Women actually involved in minor crashes a lot more than men

Generally, men have more driving experience compare to women. So men can make good use of the performance of the car to save time.

Cognitive Dissonance

When an attitude is not in keeping with a behavior then there is a dissonant relationship.

The conflict:• We have to drive to McDonalds to have lunch with friends. • Men don’t believe in a women’s driving skill.

In order to reduce this dissonance between belief and behavior, they have a few difference choices.

They can call a taxi or drive themselves instead of asking a woman to fetch them. However, they still board on the woman’s car, due to their laziness and they have no choice.

Persuasion

In the video, it shows that the girl was trying to persuade those guys to believe in her driving skill. She told them that her father was a car racer, she must have inherited his father’s talent.

After a few moments of persuasion, they have been influenced by her talks and changed their minds, attitudes and behavior towards women drivers.

Persuasion is the act of persuading someone to do something or to believe that something is true.

Heuristic

Heuristic is a mental shortcut that allows people to solve the problems without thinking and make a judgment efficiently and quickly.

For example, when we get lost, the mental shortcut allows us to think that GPS can help us solve the problem. It could lead us the correct ways to get to the place that we want to go.
