Importance of Systems Thinking and Complexity

Systems thinking involves understanding the relationships and interactions between different components of a system, rather than focusing solely on the individual parts. This approach recognizes that the viability of a system depends on the relationships between its parts. However, our culture tends to prioritize the analysis and description of individual parts rather than the interconnections between them. This mechanistic thinking has hindered our ability to understand complex systems such as families or societies, where relationships and processes are constantly responding and compensating in multiple directions.
