what is the meaning of the word, Paradigm?

Answer 1

Without looking it up, which you don't need me to accomplish, I'd submit that paradigm is a noun that represents your normal way of viewing things or a person's version of normal or regular. I've only ever heard the expression, "Paradigm shift", in which a person learns to look past or deeper into the way they've normally viewed things. We get really used to being who we are, so most of our behavior goes unnoticed to us, but when someone points something out that hasn't occured to you, something new, or if you experience some revelation that changes the way you see things, you've undergone a paradigm shift.

Answer 2

Just keep it simple. It is a set way of thinking. A paradigm shift is when the set way of thinking changes. For example, homosexuals are more widely accepted today than they were 100 years ago. That is a paradigm shift. The ideas surrounding homosexuality are the paradigm.

Answer 3

paradigm

1 a typical example or pattern of something; a model : there is a new paradigm for public art in this country.

• a worldview underlying the theories and methodology of a particular scientific subject : the discovery of universal gravitation became the paradigm of successful science.

2 a set of linguistic items that form mutually exclusive choices in particular syntactic roles : English determiners form a paradigm: we can say “a book” or “his book” but not “a his book.” Often contrasted with syntagm .

• (in the traditional grammar of Latin, Greek, and other inflected languages) a table of all the inflected forms of a particular verb, noun, or adjective, serving as a model for other words of the same conjugation or declension.

Answer 4

Your paradigm is how you see the world or your point of view.

So.. if you have a "paradigm shift" that means you see things in a whole new way. Let's say that you're in school and you think the kid in front of you is very lazy today because he's not doing his schoolwork. However, if you then learned that his mom recently died, then you'd probably have a paradigm shift and stop thinking of him as lazy.

Answer 5

Answer 6

its a mindset.

For example, getting speeding tickets is bad because it adds points up against your license and increases your insurance rate.

How could we change this paradigm?

Make it a race to see who could lose their license first due to too many speeding tickets. Winner gets a million bucks and a chauffer for a year.

That would change the whole paradigm of thinking that traffic tickets are a bad thing. Suddenly the mindset, or paradigm, would be that speeding tickets rule!

Answer 7

Answer 8

A paradigm is an example or pattern. In grammar, a paradigm is often used to illustrate the various inflections of a noun, verb or other part of speech. Example: The conjugation of the verb "to talk" in the present tense would follow the following paradigm:

You talk
He talks
She talks
It talks
We talk
You talk
They talk

It is a way in which you view a situation. Usually through learned experiences of a series of stressors, social agreement, or one bad acid trip, which has "taught" your mind to respond to future stimuli in a ceartain manner.
