Reflection I – LBST 200
The paradigm I feel most affiliated with would be Interpretivism, it is the belief that societies around the world cannot be studied using general scientific methods. I feel that I connect well with this methodology, because of my own beliefs and experiences that have guided me to where I am and how I feel about the world around me.
I have multiple biases about the world, they include; having a love for animals, people, places and compassion for religions. I feel as though everyone and everything has a reason for who/what they are and it is our job not to judge or critique them, but to understand why. There is so much grey area about what the field of study I am in, what I enjoy most from most of my professors that I have had so far in University, is that every professor is up for debate.
Being challenged and challenging is what makes (in my opinion) the role of a student, the most important part of learning. Thus, the information I have learned and the idea of Interpretivism connect because the whole methodology of Interpretivism is to investigate.
Outside of my academic work, I am most likely using my artistic side. For example, I love to paint, sing, play the piano, and amateur photography. This has really helped me look at myself and use my creativity as a way to express myself. This for me connects with interpretivism because I believe not everything can be explained by science because not everything has to be scientific to be beautiful.
