What is the relationship between a Schema, a Hermeneutic, and a Paradigm?
Schema: Micro-level. Internal processing of the individuals mind to sort out stimuli and facts and put them into categorical, understandable wholes. Example: gender, race.
Hermeneutic: Individual-level. The method used by a specific individual to interpret events based on past experience and schema. Example: What is this text saying to me, subjective truths.
Paradigm: Macro-level. The method used by a society or group of people to interpret events based on collective human experience and knowledge. Example: Science, Philosophy, Theology.
