A paradigm is a commonly accepted model or framework that shapes how people understand, research, or act within a particular field. It includes fundamental assumptions, methods, and standards that guide thinking and problem-solving. In science, a paradigm defines what questions are important, how data should be interpreted, and which methods are valid. When evidence or ideas strongly conflict with the established paradigm, this can lead to a paradigm shift, where the old framework is replaced by a new one. The term can also be used more generally for any typical example or pattern.
