Theme: Clockwise and Counter: The Paradigm Shifting World

Throughout history, there have been many norms set in our world which have been integrated into most communities. These paradigms have stuck around for many centuries, intertwining with our customs and cultures. However, in recent times, we have seen this world give way to many movements which contradict past paradigms. We see the rise of many movements moving to gain female equality, when the past saw the oppression of women as a norm. We have seen the rise of anti-racist rhetoric, whereas oppression of minorities and slavery used to be common. We see a drive for environmental stability, a contrast to our use of coal and the industrial revolution in the past. It is these shifting paradigms that we have chosen as our theme.
