Framing

What is Framing? How our minds work in understanding things and situations. Our basic means of how we organize our stimulation to the outside world, the input. Our initial responses, definitions, points of view, and behavior all come from these frames.These frames are formed from the time we are infants and are pretty hard wired by the time we reach the age of 10. Though we are all always vulnerable to a breaking of our frames or the slight emergence of new frames.


Why is framing important and what does it do for us? How valid is it?




Framing is an organic process that happens in our minds without any help or prompting it is our mind working to understand the world around us. When one sees something that makes no since or that is impossible for them to understand, it is because the frame does not exist for them.

In our digital age we have all made a individual frame for higher technology or we have made adjustments to other frames in order to understand it. Framing rationalizes and allows us to understand people and their limitations. Racism, Athletic Ability, Artistic aptitude, technological flexibility can all be traced back to ones frame work.
