True or false, interactions are only between parts and do not happen across systems. Give a short description.

Question 2. What is the main reason that we cannot focus on only solving one part of a complex problem?

Question 3. True or false. In complex systems, if only a few parts are not working the whole system will be stable. Give a short description.

Question 4. What allows for complex systems to spiral out of control?

Feedback loops can cause a complex system to spiral out of control.

Feedback loop is a mechanism by which change in a variable results in either an amplification (positive feedback) or a dampening (negative feedback) of that change. Diagram of negative and positive feedback loops.
Negative feedback act to maintain a system's current, stable state.

One Example:]]> 2020-07-24 01:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/200438571/j3b5a9mhz2z35sk2/wish/661464979 Question 1 200131531 https://padlet.com/200438571/j3b5a9mhz2z35sk2/wish/661465783 True. Interactions are usually between parts and do not happen across systems.  This is because interactions usually happen to resolve problems that are clearly understood and is related to the person interacting. This does not involve anyone else, thus, interactions should never happen across systems

There are many elements on many different scales with all levels affecting each other They are inter connected and dependent on each other. Thus when one part is messed up the final product will not be perfect.

Each factor is independent in the complex system, and has different variables. Every factor is important in the complex system.

If one of the factor is not doing / working well, it will affect other factors. 

For example: In our body parts, if one system/part fails, it will affect the entire body. ]]> 2020-07-24 01:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/200438571/j3b5a9mhz2z35sk2/wish/661483513 Question 2 20022141 https://padlet.com/200438571/j3b5a9mhz2z35sk2/wish/661505851 Complex problems are typically defined as problems that include the ability to approach them from multiple and sometimes competing perspectives and which may have multiple solutions. Complex problems also involves interdependent (2 or more things depending on one another) factors. Therefore, we are not able to simply provide a solution for one part of the problem due to correlations and various different views.]]> 2020-07-24 01:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/200438571/j3b5a9mhz2z35sk2/wish/661505851
