Paradigm
In class we went over the articles that we were suppose to read and we came across the word paradigm. Now I’ve heard the word before but, was not clear on how it was used (that’s why I kept quiet, I was told if you don’t know a word don’t say anything and find out later). So I found that paradigm means a pattern of some sort it has relations mainly in science, and I guess it would relate to the articles in that they all follow a pattern in how they were written. They are all intelligent, and stray away from opinions (they use big words to confuse you). The best example was “The Truth about Jena 6” the author didn’t clearly show their opinion. In class we tried to guess the race of the author, we thought she was a white lady then as it went on she could have been black (a black person named Amy, when I thought about it I never met one). For all we know she was a little Asian lady trying to confuse us. In the end all the articles do follow a kind of pattern as I said and would be a paradigm.
