Paradigm

We need to postulate a completely different paradigm to explain all these phenomena.

The reduction of subsidies to the Cultural Heritage sector requires the adoption of a new paradigm.

My neighbour thinks that people do not know what to expect in increased awareness of outer space because it could cause a paradigm shift in society.

It's a binary world; the computer might be his paradigm. And many engineers seem to aspire to be binary people within in.

A paradigm is something you think about before you think about it.

Translation is the paradigm, the exemplar of all writing. It is translation that demonstrates most vividly the yearning for transformation that underlies every act involving speech, that supremely human gift.

You just need time to adjust to the new paradigm.

I remember the time when the Germans called the Euro "Esperantogeld" to mean that it would never happen. Of course, none of the people who said that would admit it today. It's the peculiarity of paradigms to seem so natural that one cannot imagine having lived in a different paradigm, even an opposite one, in the past.

In science, if there is a mistake in theory or data, scientists try to correct it. Science is a self-correcting paradigm, unlike religion. In religion, if adherents think that some beliefs are not correct, some opt to create a new religion.

I know that some "lesbians" in my Lulu Island neighbourhood are still attracted to me, being male. Sexologists know that most people are really bisexual, as in the ancient Greco-Roman times, bisexuality was the social norm. I think that the "gay-straight" paradigm is reinforced by Abrahamic religions.
