Critical Review of the Seven Habits of a Systems Savvy Person Introduction In chapter ten of Dynamic Systems for Everyone, Ghosh Asish mentions the seven habits of a systems savvy person. He discusses the differences between looking at the whole phenomena to understand the whole systems and looking at the system in parts to check each parts’ property. The author discusses how the principle of all phenomena can help a systems savvy person create the right mental and conceptual models and interactive models. In addition, the systems savvy person can optimize the systems, minimize the delay, improve the efficiency and keep improving the systems. This chapter includes several…

9. Define and explain Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, and give one example of direct and indirect family influence that you can identify in your own personal experience. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological system theory analyzes development as resulting from both biological and environmental influences, influences that are multi-layered and complex. An example of direct family influence in my own life is that which my maternal grandmother had, and continues to have, on me. My grandmother…
different. In class, I learned about the theories of human development which played a great role in helping me better understand the movie through a different perspective. Through watching the movie, I was able to apply the theories to not only the plot of the movie, but also the characters. The Silver Linings Playbook movie gave me the opportunity to analyze the development of a character…
The child notified her mother of the abuse that occurred in school, which prompted her mother to seek assistance for her child from hospital, pediatrician, therapist and church. The limitation of the dynamic systems theory in assessing this case is that the child’s stable environment could not have prevented the abuse from occurring. Dynamic system’s theory does not take into account how other variables such as culture and biases may affect outcomes and functioning of systems. The child’s…
In his paper, The Nature of Mental States, Hilary Putnam advocates for functionalism, the idea that the mind is defined by what it does, rather than what it is composed of. The mind serves a purpose similar to that of a machine, taking various inputs, performing a function, and producing certain outputs. He contests the arguments of the brain-state theory which claims that mental processes and brain processes are the same. I will claim that Putnam’s argument for functionalism is successful…
Systems Theory The Healthcare organizations supplies nursing provision grounded on arrays kinds of theories. An open theory established by Katz and Kahn in 1978 was one sort of the theory, this theory glances at the healthcare organizations as social systems distributed into interconnected subsystems (Meyer & O’Brien-Pallas, 2010). These interconnected subsystems comprises of inputs, throughputs, outputs, systems of cycles of events and the negative feedback ((Meyer & O’Brien-Pallas, 2010). The…
One argument asserts that these theories can be used to help both practitioners working at the individual level and those in organizations focusing on larger societal changes. The framework it provides being useful at both the micro and macro level (Robbins, S., Chatterjee, P., Canada, E., 2012). Secondly, systems theory support the idea of the person-in-environment perspective, taking into account the multiple systems affecting both the person and the greater society they live in. This is a…
Family Systems Theory Based off of general systems theory, family systems theory views each family as its own system and family members affect the family system as a whole (Lindstrom et al., 2015). “Families have interrelated elements and structures, interact in patterns, have boundaries and use messages and rules to shape their members” (Morgaine, 2001). As well as interacting within themselves, these family systems interact with many other systems around them. Family systems theory allows…
income countries is one aspect of this. Rural areas have health systems challenges and needs that differ from urban areas, but need to be effectively addressed to achieve UHC. Improving the quality of health services through systems thinking is a mechanism to achieve UHC. What is Universal Health Coverage? The World Health Organization (WHO) defines UHC’s goal as “… to ensure that all people obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship when paying for them.” (WHO,…
