Advantages
  • Specific and pinpoints the root cause
  • Links to the problem well
Disadvantages
  • too specific, can lead to focusing on a non-essential problem
  • improving on that issue may lead to a bigger separate problem

Nested System
Advantages
  • Easy to highlight the problem within a specific group of people (society/community/family/individual)
  • Very specific and shows the relationship between factors
Disadvantages
  • Unrealistic for worldwide and society factors


Connection Circle
Advantages
  • Helps to visualise things clearly
  • Complex ideas can be simplified
  • A clear idea of the relationship between factors
Disadvantages
  • Hard to interpret at first glance, ideas need to be explained
  • Too many factors can make it too complicated for plebs (us)

Conclusion: Nested System is the most appropriate as we can target a certain group of people to provide aid. However, we can only focus on Community and Individuals as it is a smaller group
