No, it's "paradigm". Look up Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in Google or Yahoo or some other search engine.

"All human activity is prompted by desire. There is a wholly fallacious theory advanced by some earnest moralists to the effect that it is possible to resist desire in the interests of duty and moral principle. I say this is fallacious, not because no man ever acts from a sense of duty, but because duty has no hold on him unless he desires to be dutiful. If you wish to know what men will do, you must know not only, or principally, their material circumstances, but rather the whole system of their desires with their relative strengths." Bertrand Russell, Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1950.

The term has come into serious vogue in the last ten years in educated writing. The best advice IS to look up Kuhn, as coming to understand the concept as a whole will give you a way to look into pretty much every change happening in society around us.
