paradigm-shift
Metaphor and Design as an approach to understanding social reality (like your fishbowls), and as an approach to change, belongs to the social-constructionist school of thought. It is underpinned by the idea that human awareness and knowledge have an unfolding transformative potential and that the images and ideas people hold of themselves and their world have a fundamental impact on how their realities unfold…
An example from Strictly Ballroom that this letter relates to is Fran and Scott. Both people were pinned into a certain category. Because of this categorization they had thoughts about themselves and who they were supposed to me. They had an underlying assumption of they need to be and are supposed to be, instead of just being who they want. People had the idea and image of Scott as a dancer and a winner and his parents used this on him. So Scott thought he had to be the best and treated Fran like she wasn't good enough at first. Whereas Fran was always in the shadows and no one ever gave her a chance so she was not confident and was scared to dance. However, both characters were transformative and lived up to a better potential. Scott realized that he loved to dance and not just for winning. He experienced a new culture of dance and became a better person and more loving towards Fran. Whereas Fran found confidence within herself and started dancing with confidence and actually being a leader towards Scott, which was unusual for him. Ones they broke the mold and image that others had given to them they transformed and found their own potential and their realities unfooled before their eyes. They both found happiness. The images they had of themselves before had shifted into something different and it changed their lives and their realities. How you view yourself matters and impacts how your life will change. I have personal experience relating to Fran. As a child, I was shy and grew up with an older brother. Because he was older he was always ahead in school, athletics and so on. Because he was always better I had an image of myself, and that image was that I would never be good enough. However, as I grew I broke out of this mold and formed a new image of myself. Once I did so, my reality changed. I did better in school, I loved playing sports and I started trying new things. Once I adopted my own image of myself my realities changed for the better. Similar to Fran once I broke the image I found more confidence. There was a shift in me, therefore there was a shift in my reality. Everything is about perspective. Scot, Fran and I all went through a paradigm shift. Once we changed this image and assumption of ourselves everything changes.
