Narrative paradigm

Paradigms are " a conceptual framework that calls for people to view events through a common interpretive lens." (Griffin 300). I often think of paradigms as accepted ideas that a society has. Fishers narrative paradigm offered a way to understand and explain communication behavior. Fisher thinks of every type of communication that humans find compelling or interesting can be seen as stories. The best stories are true ones, humans are constantly writing their stories; this could be one of the reasons why reality television has such a huge appeal.
