Paradigm

A paradigm may be defined as "a set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community." Typically, we do not see paradigms, rather we see through paradigms, thus remain unaware of their influence. Awareness of our paradigm is necessary for critical thinking. For humorous insight into paradigms, view this PowerPoint from Fun on the Net:  Paradigm.pps.

 

Professor Edelstein has designed two PowerPoint presentations that illustrate the concept of paradigm within the context of sustainability. Please view them here.
