Reflection # 2


The paradigm change and shifts are ways in which each one can interpret differently. The evolution of man particularly is one main change how man has evolved from the simplicity of living in the bare wilderness to evolving into living in full structured homes. Also, how the developed tools enhanced them to be more efficient and to serve specific purposes for specific works tasks to be done. The evolution of hunting and killing of the animal for survival.
Furthermore, around the ages of homo sapiens people were very ignorant and mindless, they used anything as tools. For example, different type of shaped rocks used for their own purposes like, hammering things or scrappers. Man created their own paradigm as being hunters when they saw the need to hunt food and create clothing from animal skin or what not. So things that seemed unnecessary around them became a necessary matter. They felt more inferior towards animals as their intelligence grew more and more. Then they began making fire and as a result it helped them survive threw cold weather and also helped sharpen many tools.
So as their intelligence began to expand, feelings, thoughts, and opinions began to take off. So the movement of choosing with whom you slept with and share intimate emotions towards the opposite sex began to also evolve. Communication was a big influence in paradigm change, that's where language began to evolve.
As my opinion I think we make our own paradigm and choose what we want to believe in. Its what we've been taught and been brought up as. That's what makes this world still go round. Each day we used what we've learned in our everyday life. Like the reading said, its about accepting ourselves and doing what truly makes us happy. Finding happiness and in doing whatever it takes to achieve it.
