Paradigm Shift!!!

In my own words Paradigm shift is a change in perspectives that can result in the alteration or abandonment in beliefs. Relating to the PWB in the climatic ending of judges when the ANTS attack Adah and Leah go through Paradigm shifts that drastically alter each's beliefs. For example this quote "That night marks my life's dark center, the moment when growing up ended and the long downward slope toward death began. The wonder to me now is that i thought myself worth saving. But I did" shows how Adah comes to value her life as oppose to before when she felt her disability devalued her life, ironically though the moment she realizes her life is worth saving her mother abandons her for ruth may. Leah on the other hand abandons her faith in religion and her father for faith in Anatole, this is showed in this quote "I repeated his name because it took the place of prayer. Anatole's name anchored me to the earth, the water, the skin that held me in like a jar of water." Overall i think pardigm shift is an idea that most of us are resistent to in our society. Nobody likes to be wrong and so when an idea or opinon arrives that challenges our own beliefs we become defensive and inturn lose rationality and common sense for the sake of being right.
