Reframing
Week 8

Neo: Do you always look at it encoded?
Cypher: Well you have to.  The image translators work for the construct program.  But there’s way too much information to decode the Matrix.  You get used to it.  I . . . I don’t even see the code.  All I see is blonde, brunette re-head.
                    -The Matrix 

“The framing of an issue is about making decisions about its parameters, about what is in the foreground, what is in the background, and what shadings or complexities exist within the frame” (153). 

“Reframing occurs in other contest where people resist being boxed and labeled according to categories which do not fit” (153). 

“The need to reframe is about retaining the strengths of a vision and the participation of a whole community” (153).
