How: Observe and record behavior

A fly on the wall alludes to the position of being able to freely observe a situation without being
oneself noticed. It is now most often used in relation to 'fly on the wall documentaries', which are
films of real life situations supposedly made without affecting the behaviour of the participants.

to common sense yet is true in fact. Examples of
paradox are "mobilization for peace" and "a well-

21. Conceptual Landscape
example Paradox of society Written by Fred Bassett
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but
shorter tempers;
wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less;
we buy more, but enjoy it less.
...
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space;
we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul;
we've split the moon, but not our prejudice.
We have higher incomes, but lower morals;
we've become long on quantity, but short on quality.
