Jakcson, good point. Systems thinking is a framework among many others that we can use to understand problems. The excitement behind it is that it has emerged as an alternative to reductionism. It also has the value of helping us understand the interconnection of components that are beyond the typical narrow scope we would consider in reductionist ways of thinking.

I would argue that the definition of what systems thinking is still evolving as we learn more.

Nope. not female thing. a lot of blokes i know do it. Could be laziness. Could be they don’t want their family or friends to know how they’re dating. Could be they are using facebook as a dating site. I consider the last unlikely.
