Basically, Paradigms are the patterns or framework that society was ruled by during the 19th century. You could also say that they are the unwritten 'rules' of the time.
The diffrent paradigms are Economic, Philosophical, Scientific, Religion, POlitical and Social.
Economic would be concerned with wealth, how it influenced society (i.e marriage, class division etc)
Philosophical would be the ways of interpreting things such as historical, social, political events and also workplace or individiauls in society)
Scientifc basically includeds womens accomplishments and mens 'jobs' such as being a landlord/balancing money. And religion is quite obvious.
