Paradigms and Paradigm Shift

For centuries early human went through a series of paradigm shift. The term Paradigm may be defined as the way human perceive the word. Many inventions were as a result of early human perception. In several different stages human have moved through a process of paradigm shifts. This article will discuss the position on how man’s various inventions have changed the way man think learns and sees the word. I will then share my views on the subject.

Intervention has been through many changes simultaneously to the human development and paradigm shifts. Different interventions were as a result of change perception and new experiences; from the control of fire and its use to the invention of tools, wheels and sharing socialization. As time pass it left behind the need of social change. From cooking food in the ground to a more sophisticated stove of the twenty first century. This invention in reverse help to shape the way man thinks, in that they have become more open to ne invention, exploration constantly inventing new things. Our societies today are slaves to invention, for example the enormous gather and champing out to quire some new gadget that has just been introduced to the market. They are constantly looking toward and anticipating new invention.

It is evident that by now man have realized that they are living in an ever changing world and nothing stays constant except for change itself. New inventions assist in faster learning, and the production of new knowledge. Man has come to view the world through more compromised eyes. The have come to accept new fact and realities and if the needs be the will be a re-evaluation of self.

From my perspective change is constant and new invention is unchanging. The need to reevaluate ones self is of utmost importance, a much needed thing in the present society. After several years of experience and observation of change I came to realized that I am as a result a new person. The way I think, my religious beliefs values and attitude have been changing and that is constant.
