Is there a term for something that is thought of in one way, then something happens and it's suddenly thought of in a new way?

I’m writing a business growth strategy book based on weeds. Weeds are thought of as essentially living garbage, as pests, as useless. But they are actually miracles of strategy, resilience and execution. I believe my book will cause many to see weeds in a whole new way, and I’d like to use the term, if there is one, to describe them. The closest I’ve found is neologism, which can mean the introduction of new meanings to existing words.


Solution 1:

You want people to see weeds in a different light. I do not know how neologism fits there; you are just taking up a commonplace entity and trying to breathe new perspective and meaning into it. Sounds cool!

Anyway, I suggest you go with perspective as in Weeds: A fresh perspective or perhaps approach as in Weeds: A different approach.

And both these words are nouns, to boot.
