The Multi Dimensional Paradigms of Self-Defense is a model that describes a person’s overall view of the universe self-defense. Everyone’s viewpoint is different, but viewpoints can still be categorized in groups. The MDP model helps explain the basic differences in viewpoints. It provides people a framework to expand and evolve their self-defense paradigm into one with a more comprehensive viewpoint.
This Diagram brings together several of my models which are all designed to help to provide a framework for self-defense strategies and to organize information.
This Diagram differs from typical self-defense thinking because it considers all actions to be a form of "Boundary Setting". It is not physical self-defense centric as are most models. It also takes into consideration that the influence of the Institutional Fence plays an important role in self-defense and conflict management.
