Knowledge
Structures
– internal to you; individual; the way you think and what you
think about. "When new information is compatible with your knowledge
structures it is accepted, when it does not mesh with your
pre-conceived ideas or past experience it receives little
consideration, is distorted or ignored."

Paradigm
Crisis
and Paradigm
Shift
"The future ain't
what it used to be." ~ Yogi Berra
Paradigms describe a basis for
anticipation of specific events; they
do not deal with values per se. When an existing paradigm no longer

"The only way a paradigm crisis can be resolved
is by replacing an old, no longer adequate paradigm with a new and different
one that explains and predicts better than the original, a paradigm shift.
Paradigm shifts do not involve simply slight modifications to the existing
model. They instead replace and render the old model obsolete. says
Jerry Sentell."1
