Week2 Assignment 2:
Instruction: Building on the previous assignment focused on self-reflection of your positionality in the world that we study, identify a paradigm that you find meaningful in helping understand the world- i.e., the nature of reality (ontology). A paradigm is a philosophical or theoretical framework. By the world we mean social phenomena, processes, structures and social problems broadly. The paradigm may be one discussed in the course or one beyond the constraints of the class. Describe the key ideas of this paradigm or theoretical framework, why you find it compelling, how it addresses the question of power and positionality, and how it helps build a better account of reality than other worldviews.
