From Radical humanist/neo-humanist exemplar: Al and the future of humanity (Yuval Noah Harari)

1. What aspects of the paradigm do you notice being used in the article or video? 

Why do these characteristics best reflect the paradigm that they do? 

This question should be given a lot of consideration because a solid response will allow you to show that you have a thorough comprehension of the paradigm you have selected. 

2. What subject matter are the authors interested in? 

Do they want to change how the current political and economic system functions, or do they only want to make organisations within that system perform better? 

What paradigm best reflect these interests, and why? 

Think about the typology of the four paradigms' axis for order and regulation/radical change and conflict. 

3. Who is formulating the argument in the media clip? Who wrote the article? 

What organisations are they a part of, and what are their goals or ideologies? What paradigm best reflect these interests, and why? 

4. What are the aims of the article/media clip? (Note: these may be undeclared) What does the author/speaker wish to achieve? 

What paradigm do these aims best reflect and why? 

5. What organisational or management-related challenges or facets does the article or media clip omit or fail to address? 

What do these blind spots mean, and why do they characterise the paradigm that this article or media clip exemplifies?
