In Brazil, 'quebrar paradigmas' is a staple of motivational speeches and self-help literature. It is often linked to the idea of 'superação' (overcoming obstacles). In Portugal, the phrase is frequently used in the context of the 'Modernização do Estado' (State Modernization), referring to breaking old bureaucratic habits. In Angolan business contexts, it's used to describe the diversification of the economy away from oil dependence. Often used in educational reforms and social programs to encourage new ways of thinking about community development.
