Paradigm / Worldview Defined A set of: Assumptions Concepts Values and Practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.
Paradigms/ Worldviews are large scale. A paradigm/worldview is a set of beliefs, held by an individual, group, or civilization which they hold to be true and precludesthem from seeing any other possibilities. Paradigms/worldviews then, are perspectives from which we view issues and develop solutions.

Summer Love… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6DsnU-JdA8
According to Danny: Summer lovin' had me a blast I met a girl crazy for me Summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights She swam by me, she got a cramp I saved her life, she nearly drowned Summer sun, something's begun, but uh-oh those summer nights Took her bowling in the arcade We made out under the dock Summer fling, don't mean a thing, but uh-oh those summer nights While she got friendly down in the sand Well she was good you know what I mean So I told her we'd still be friends Wonder what she's doing now Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh, those summer nights According to Sandy: Summer lovin' happened so fast Met a boy cute as can be Summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights He ran by me, got my suit damp He showed off, splashing around Summer sun, something's begun, but uh-oh those summer nights We went strolling, drank lemonadeWe stayed out 'till ten o'clock Summer fling, don't mean a thing, but uh-oh those summer nights He got friendly, holding my hand He was sweet, just turned eighteen It turned colder - that's where it ends Then we made our true love vow Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh, those summer nights
Paradigm Shift defined When anomalies or inconsistencies arise within a given paradigm and present problems that we are unable to solve within a given paradigm, our view of reality must change, as must the way we perceive, think, and value the world. We must take on new assumptions and expectations that will transform our theories, traditions, rules, and standards of practice. We must create a new paradigm in which we are able to solve the insolvable problems of the old paradigm.
Example of a Paradigm Shift The Copernican system (the sun at the center of the universe) overthrew the Ptolemaic (the earth at the center) one.
Example of a Paradigm We see the world in terms of Sustainability. How is this a paradigm shift?
