Reflection 2

The article " Frames, Paradigms and Paradigm shifts" basically states that the species man are thinkers and that when there are situations, problems, and or schemes we try to figure out how to fix them. Man has created inventions i believe to solve their problems. Every single envintion ever created had to be thought of to solve something. Just like the inventions shown in the article ; the plain, telephone, and the rake. Man needed a more efficient way to travel other than the automobile or a ship they needed away to get across the ocean in a faster time. This was a problem. So man has to use their paradigm and use past experiences to fill in the blank and the blank being the solution man thought of birds.
Many inventions were born like this. Were is a problem there is a solution. These inventions changes the way that man sees and thinks in so many ways. These inventions gives man confidence that any scheme can be accomplished. It makes man more knowledgeable of the world. The essential things that man has proven through the years is that there are several things that will always remain essential to human life. The first being food, second communication, and third transportation.
Without these things survival would be very minimal in todays society becasuse our paradigms are so acustomed to having them there. For example if for some reason the intire world went to war and all of our high technology was used and destroyed we would have to depend on our animal like survival skills to succeed and posibly try to start over. This task is more easier said than done because we have become so acustomed to our invetions that some peoples mind may be so dependent on them that they can not opend up their minds to have a paradigms shift; which is only a signe for failure.
We have our frames and we have our paradigms. However to a certain extent if we don't learn to let our frames open or until we are ready to change our papardigms there will be no paradigm shift. Our paradigm is our way of looking at our world; it's our organized view point. Fact "When your brain changes your paradigm changes." Mr. Mc Nair.
