What do you see? What does your neighbor notice? Do you see the same things?
Paradigm: • Definition: also a perception; the way you see something, your point of view, frame of reference, or belief. Our paradigms are often off the mark, and as a result, they create limitations. Paradigms are like glasses. When you have incomplete paradigms about yourself or life in general, it’s like wearing the wrong prescription. • Consider: Are your paradigms of yourself helping or hindering you? • Paradigms of others: Seeing things from a different point of view can help us understand why other people act the way they do.
Think deeply about your own daily life; which of these paradigms seems best to fit you? • Friend-Centered • Stuff-Centered • Boyfriend/Girlfriend-Centered • School-Centered • Parent-Centered • Sports-Centered • Hero-Centered • Enemy-Centered • Self-Centered • Write privately about this for five-seven minutes • Then, look through pp. 19-23 to clarify why and how you define yourself. Is that a positive aspect of your life and your perception?
We want to be PRINCIPLE CENTERED • Brainstorm: what do you think this means? How does change and influence our approaches to life, others, school, LINK? • We want to talk about being principle-centered next week. • For HW: Please read pp. 24-45 for next week. Come to class with a few (5-7) sticky noted places that are areas of interest, “ah ha’s,” concerns: “is this really feasible?” or connections: “this is how I see this benefiting me” or “this would be useful for us as leaders to demonstrate, show our freshmen.”
