PARADIGM Paradigm comes from the Greek verb paradeiknynai, meaning “to show side by side.” It has been used in English to mean “example” or “pattern” since the 15th century. There is debate, however, about what kind of example qualifies as a paradigm. Some people say it’s a typical example, while others insist it must be an outstanding or perfect example. The scientific community has added to the confusion by using paradigm to mean “a theoretical framework,” a sense popularized by American scientist Thomas S. Kuhn in the second edition of his influential book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, published in 1970. Some usage commentators now advise avoiding the term entirely on the grounds that it is overused, but we contend that it can sometimes make a useful, conversation-enriching replacement for idea, theory, or concept, as in “an article about sandwiches that shifts the paradigm by including hot dogs.”
A paradigm shift is a major change in how people think and get things done that upends and replaces a prior paradigm. A paradigm shift can result after the accumulation of anomalies or evidence that challenges the status quo, or due to some revolutionary innovation or discovery. There is often resistance to a new paradigm coming from incumbents. The concept was first formalized by physicist and philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn. PARADIGM IS A CONCEPT BINDING CHAIN ON US. 2 So, PARADIGM is a conditional force; this makes any educated, top bureaucrats, Politicians and wealthy to shrink and lay until they need their idea to be propagated; in short it earns a selfish attitude not to help anyone but try and gather for the selfish ends. High altitude words are thrown by such who always remain docile. They are named as KUERIPPARIYAMAATTAADHAVAN NANMARAM; A GOOD TREE BUT USELESS TO THE SOCIETY; YOU POKE THEM; YOU HIT THEM; EVEN PUNCH THEM; THEY WILL BE DOCILE. But when they are simply pricked wanted the world to come to their rescue. These people who be friendlily the needy society, remain in shell worshipping the villains so that dogs do not bite them. 3 So where paradigm turns out in majority to be only for a selfish purpose, how that paradigm will change? And how will it change towards the nature preservations? Where 20% are planting trees as adopting the paradigm of nature, 80% self-centered cut the woods in the hot climate where the earth is so strong, because west constructions they saw in the last tour. Paradigm of this great nation had lost their interests long ago; but implements the diplomatic relations to attain the ends of their choice. Where the mind is not free how can the paradigm change rather shift to good will occur. To day right from your home street, district, groups, states and the nations do suffer the calamity. One who does not regret of his fear actions, will not contribute even a pie to improvements. Nallore oruvar ularael avar porutte mazhai.
