If we're talking imperative/functional/OOO kind of thing, I'd go Imperative programming: Tell the computer what to do step by step. Procedural programming: Usurp the kingdom of the imperative, organize imperative halmets into fiefdoms. Call each one a "procedure". OOO programming: Usurp the kingdom of the procedure. Gather the fiefdoms of procedures into a baronry called "Objects instantiated from Classes" where each object manages its own state and affairs. Functional programming: Defeat the heresy of OOO! Changes to state should be strictly controlled from a single source of truth! Hack, slash, pew pew.
