Frames

• Frames are the mental structures that allow
  human beings to understand reality and
  sometimes to create what we take to be reality
  They structure our ideas and concepts, they
  shape how we reason, and they even impact how we
  perceive and how we act. For the most part, our
  use of frames is unconscious and automatic we
  use them without realising it.
• George Lakoff, 2006
