Have you ever been in a situation where you had a shift in your paradigm (point of view)?

Paradigms
We've been talking about the idea that we all see the world in different ways. There are times we view a situation different from the way our friend views the same situation. As a result, we sometimes find ourselves having a disagreement with our friends. If we could step back and look through our friends "glasses" we might be surprised how different things look.

I had a shift in my paradigm when I was going to go rafting. I didn't want to go because the water was to cold. Then, I thought that this is the only chance to go for a long time. I went and the water wasn't to bad.
One day i got in a fight with my friend.We did not talk for almost two days.Finally I realized that there was no point for us to be fighting. In fact i didn't remember what the fight was about.During the 2nd day of fighting I walked over to my friend and said I was sorry and she said sorry too.Now we are friends again.

Ms, Degraff and students,
Tonight I looked at the picture used as an example of a paradigm--the old woman/young woman.
In class ( 4th period) I couldn't see the young woman at all, but tonight I saw both the young and old women very clearly!! Yay!!

Hayli...
I had a similar experience when I was a freshman in high school, but I think you handled yourself better. Only after 2 days you were wise enough to address the situation. It took my friend and I 2 months before we realized that neither of us could remember why we "hated" each other. Being proactive and looking through another pair of glasses would have really helped us!
i love what this pic stands for. i think that in class we sould have an assiment about some thing that involevs this picture.
A while back, my buddie and I were mad at each other because we each thought that we were right and we didn't talk to each other for over a week! Later I recognized that he was the one that was right. So I started to apologize and we were friends again. From Jared L. in 6th period.
that picture is so cool at first i only saw the old lady but i saw the young one at a second glance that so cool!!
Ms. DeGraff,
I finally figured it out. I see both faces now.
That picture is very cool
I like it
Dominique Oden Period 7,
you will probably every time see something differently then some other person.
Once my friend and I were playing a video game, I finally went to get a star(a verry important thing in the game) We promised not to nock each other off the block. But, my friend forgot and nocked me off, I was really mad, then I thought of the situation her way it was truly an accedint. We quickly made up.
I think the picture is awesome and we should have an assignmemt concerning it It took me a while but i finally see both faces.
I like how you trick us in the picture.
one day i was with my friend and we got in a fight we did not talk for a month and i just said that whats the point and then we were back to friend
In many of my life experiences the problem could have been solved by looking at the situation in the other person's perspective. Also my paradigm has shifted over the years and I look at things differently now.
