		+	Briefly, Fisher's Narrative Paradigm was in opposition of what is called the Rational World Paradigm. The key points of both are summarized below for easy comparison.
		+
		+	*Rational World Paradigm:
		+	**Humans are essentially rational beings
		+	**The primary mode of human decision-making and communicating is rational argument
		+	**Different rules apply in different fields: legal, scientific, legislative, public and so on
		+	**Rationality is a function of subject-matter knowledge, argumentative ability, and skill in employing the rules of advocacy
		+	**The world is a set of logical puzzles that can be solved through appropriate analysis and the application of reason.
		+
		+	*Fisher's Narrative Paradigm:
		+	**Human beings are essentially storytellers
		+	**The primary paradigm for human decision-making and communication is “good reasons”
		+	**Good reasons are influenced by history, biography, culture, and character
		+	**Rationality is determined by coherence, narrative probability and narrative fidelity
		+	**The world is a set of stories from which people choose
