The more often the frame is activated, the stronger it gets. When it gets strong enough, the frame will define your “common sense.” Common sense is simply the collection of fixed frames that you use to understand what you experience and what you hear.”
George Lakoff2011

FramesA working definition
Mental structures – how we organise our ideas and experiences in memory.
Communication tools – how we activate (and shape) these structures with words, images and actions by creating particular associations
DEPRESSING GRAPH
Beast
Crime is a beast ravaging the city of
Addison. Five years ago Addison was in
good shape, with no obvious
vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, in the past
five years the city’s defense systems have
weakened, and the city has succumbed to
crime.
Today, there are more than 55,000 criminal
incidents a year - up by more than 10,000
per year. There is a worry that if the city
does not regain its strength soon, even
more serious problems may start to
develop.
