3 Thomas Kuhn- The Structure of Scientific Revolutions Whether in the sciences, or in other aspects of our lives, paradigm shifts seem to have some common characteristics. Paradigm shifts are a necessary part of life. Paradigm shifts can be bad. Paradigm shifts often come from the young. You cannot abandon a paradigm until you have one to put in its place, because our paradigm is that which allows us to function. It usually takes a long time to effect a paradigm shift - often as much as 20 years, about the life of a generation.
