Paradigm Shift

A paradigm shift is a complete change in the way someone thinks, or a complete alteration in ones expectations. One example I find interesting is one that happens a lot more often than many of us care to admit. As a generation of technology, we tend to make assumptions on a person based on their social media. We all have been assigned a group project, and given the names of our group. Often times we will make Facebook groups now. Which most likely means we will each "creep" on each others profiles so we know what the other people look like when we go to meet up with them. That being said, we usually make judgement of whether they will be good workers based off their profiles. Usually, a person is not like what we expect which can be considered a paradigm shift because it is a complete alteration in our expectations of a person. Also it is a societal paradigm shift because before Facebook and other social media, what we saw in person is what we got. Nowadays, people have multiple versions of themselves; the one on social media being their "best" selves.
