Paradigisms

Paradigm can be describe as point of view, a way a person or group of people view and interpret reality. These interpretations are mostly learned from generation to generation. One of the most well known sorts of paradigms in any culture is religion. Religion is the one common thread that most of us have in common. No matter what denomination you are, you share a common belief with other members of that faith. Take for instance the story of Adam and Eve, all religions with the exception of Buddhism and Islamic faith has that story in their books (bible). Most Christian faiths, such religions with the same beliefs are Catholics, Jewish, Baptist, just to name a few. These followers never question anything from the bible; they whole-heartedly believe every word to be truth even without facts. The story of Mary and her immaculate conception, to us we most like would look at this with some type of Sinicism.
Paradigm shift is an individual or group of people who refuses to believe anything without questioning their validity. By questioning everything is one way humans can discover new objects, new inventions, all of the new inventions such as cell phones, microwave ovens, television and the most important tool today the PC or (personal computer). If it weren’t for men’s curiosities we would still be in the Stone Age, cars and space travelling would never have been realized. Every generation has evolved more from the previous generation, which is due to paradigm shift.
It is important for teachers to practice paradigm change, is because classrooms are become more and more diverse in more ways than one. Classrooms have children of many different learning styles and capabilities, which mean teachers, would have to get rid of their old world teaching methods. Now some classrooms have special education students mixed in with mainstream children, the special education students may require more attention than mainstream students. No longer is education general because of the diversity of the students.
