12 What is Framing? About framing: It’s normal. Everybody engages in it all the time. Frames are just structures of thought that we use every day. All words in all languages are defined in terms of frame-circuits in the brain. But ultimately, framing is about ideas, about how we see the world, which determines how we act. ~ George Lakoff, Linguist National Human Services Assembly 2013

13 Elements of Framing VALUES, or goals to re-mind people of what’s at stake or what they already care about that an issue connects to METAPHORS, to place issues in people’s everyday action scenario, enhance their understanding of processes and mechanisms and increase agency NARRATIVE, to override people’s default patterns of expectation about a complex, abstract issue by substituting the expectations of a well known narrative structure

18 “Myth-and-fact” doesn’t work:  Many people misremembered false statements about the flu in the CDC brochure as true.  Subjects attributed the source of their false beliefs to the CDC.  Denials inherently require repeating the bad information, which may be one reason they can paradoxically reinforce it.  Rather than deny a false claim, it is better to make a completely new assertion that makes no reference to the original myth.

19 You Say…They Hear You say… We are failing to do right by children and youth. Child poverty, youth homelessness, juvenile delinquency, and other complex challenges threaten the health and well-being of the next generation. Isn’t it time to invest more? They hear…What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! Poor kids have to “fight to overcome adversity, which makes them tougher and ultimately more successful. Though, it does help if they have good strong parents behind them, helping them make the right choices. Explanatory Metaphor: The Outcomes Scale National Human Services Assembly 2013
