paradigms are special

there is no such thing as the social paradigm; social customs and the ways of thinking of a society are in the philosophical paradigm, and thus the "social" paradigm is redundant. for example, in north and south mr hale tells margaret she should not go to her mother's funeral, as women of their class do not generally go. this is a social convention imposed by the ways of thinking of that society upon upper middle class women, and thus in the philosophical paradigm.

be careful; wealth is not a social convention. parity/disparity in wealth fall into the economic paradigm, while the determination of a person's value according to their wealth is in the philosophical. marriage, codes of behaviour for women and other things of that mould are also in the philosophical paradigm. political paradigm is laws and their effect on society and the individual. scientific paradigm includes themes such as the effect of industrialisation on nature, and, especially in poetry, the individual's (poet's) reaction to advances in science. economic paradigm speaks for itself. religious can include the individual questioning the accepted faith, ie. church of england in victorian england.


the paradigms are:
philosophical
economic
religious
scientific
political

there is some overlapping, some events can be used in more than one context
