You believe that understanding and addressing the interconnectedness of all aspects of a system will lead to more effective and sustainable solutions.
Holism is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts. It is derived from the Greek word "holos," which means "whole" or "all." This ideology posits that systems and their properties should be viewed as wholes, not just as a collection of parts. It is a perspective that sees society as an integrated and organic entity, where each part is as significant as the whole, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

What could be the impact on society if everyone adopted a holistic view on waste and consumption?
@9JT3QQM4mos4MO
Not good, no diversity in other peoples views on this topic so it would humans would be stuck and eventually wipe themselves of the planet.
@9JT3G784mos4MO
I think that with Holism, we can understand people better and have mutual understanding.
@9JT2VF84mos4MO
If everyone took this view, there would be an environmental increase within society.
@9JT325BWomen’s Equality4mos4MO

Have you experienced a time when considering the needs of many, rather than a few, led to a better outcome in a project?
@9KWBZDZ3mos3MO
I have not personally. Normally it should be the job of a government to look out for the minorities and marginalized parts of society, but when looking at say - the super rich verses the super poor, there are obviously more poor and the government should have policies and programs that support and protect the disadvantaged. In European countries that have greater social protections, it is more likely that a person will advance in social economic position than in the United States.
@9KW6DNB3mos3MO
Yes, but not all the time did it lead to a better outcome.

How might the rise of technology and the internet have demonstrated holism in the modern world?

In what ways can prioritizing mental health in your community create benefits that extend beyond individual well-being?
@9KSLRBNIndependent 3mos3MO
If we prioritize mental health then every individual will be getting the help they need and we will all be better off as a nation.
Prioritizing mental health is extremely beneficial- if most everyone is happy and stable then the world can run smoother

How can looking beyond first impressions in relationships reveal a deeper understanding of a person's actions?
The topic of Holism is how one can look beyond first impressions like being respectful of people's ideology
@9JSGH5P4mos4MO
When you look beyond, you begin to see people who you wouldn't otherwise agree with.

When have you felt part of something larger than yourself and how did that influence your actions or feelings?

While being apart of JROTC and marching in a platoon, marching and calling cadence, it fills you with a type of joy that is kind of indescribable.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Can social media campaigns be more influential when they address the broader social context rather than just one issue?

How do you think the concept of 'everything is connected' applies to relationships in your own life?

I have a lot of "small world" moments and so does my family. So maybe everything is connected some way some how.

How does your choice of extracurricular activities reflect the idea that diverse experiences contribute to personal growth?
@9KHMD26 3mos3MO
My two extracurricular activities are exercising and playing tabletop games with my friends.

How does recognizing the value of everyone's input during a group discussion change the outcome?
@9KN98SB3mos3MO
The value of holism means everyone putting in their input during a group discussion means that not everyone has the same political views of what our country should be held and why politics should not be in charge of everything.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Can drawing on various subjects' knowledge when tackling a project lead to more innovative solutions?
@9KGRPRM3mos3MO
Holism means that the whole cannot exist without the combination of all of its parts, in this case If you have the ability to gain multiple sources of perspective and knowledge when developing a solution that solution will always be a more complete well rounded solution as opposed to a solution developed by an individual.
