In society, there are groups that interact with each other. They may be families, churches, government agencies, or anything in between. Those groups can be defined as systems, and in the systems perspective that is what they are referred to (Hutchison, 2017). In the 1960s, Ludwig von Bertalanffy developed the general systems theory in relation to biology, but it was widely publicized and used for various subjects (Hutchison, 2017). Hutchison (2017) summarized Bertalanffy’s theory by saying, “any element is best understood by considering its interactions with its constituent parts as well as its interactions with larger systems of which it is a part.” (p.

Joel Barish and Clementine Kruczynski were a couple in love. Everything changed when Clementine woke up one day and just decided to have Joel erased from her memory. He was “boring” and she wasn’t happy and wanted to move on. Joel then decided he wanted to also remove Clementine from his memory. This was all possible due to Lacuna Inc. who asked those wishing to remove a particular person from their memories to remove anything from their homes that could possibly be associated with that person. They sit the patient down, map out where memories are located that are associated with each object. Then, the company sends a couple of their scientists/psychologists to the home at night after they’ve fallen asleep. They then track down any remaining memories as they appear while asleep

Tennessee Williams wrote the play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” in the mid-1950’s.The play takes place in Mississippi during one of its hot, humid summers. Most of the play is centered in the bedroom and sitting room of Big Daddy’s home on a Mississippi plantation. The characters are members or acquaintances of the family. On one summer evening, the Pollit’s family is gathering to celebrate Big Daddy’s birthday. The previous evening Brick break’s his leg, while trying to jump hurdles. Brick’s wife, Maggie, then tries to stop Brick from his miss-behaving due to his alcoholism, while trying to seduce him at the same time. Maggie feels as if it is urgent for her to have a baby, but Brick is too drunk to even care much about

Born March 26, 1911, in Columbus, Mississippi, Tennessee Williams was the second of the Williams' three children. Raised mostly by his mother (Edwina), Williams had a rocky relationship with his father (Cornelius), a salesman who preferred work over being a parent, ended up being a muse for “Cat on a hot tin roof”. He displays problems with society that lead to depression. That alcohol and sexuality can be a problem that now developed into a culture, just as alcohol took Skipper and Amanda in both plays. William’s displays a culture can be decided by society through actions.(bio.com)

Ernest Hemingway’s book, The Sun Also Rises, can be analyzed and understood as a hidden autobiography of his troubling and painful life. Why would Ernest Hemingway disguise himself as Mr. Jake Barnes instead of being open and telling exactly his story and how it happened? Ernest Hemingway was married when he fell in love with another woman who was not emotionally available for anything but occasional pleasure. If Hemingway had written the book as an obvious autobiography, his reputation would be damaged and the book most likely would not be such a hit. The characters that served as friends to Jake were all based on actual friends of Ernest. The similarities in this novel to Hemingway’s life are undeniable once his life story is revealed. The quote from “Hemingway’s Hidden Metafictions” by Ian Crouch, “the book was not merely based on his real-life experiences but was actually a memoir: ‘I made the unfortunate mistake, for a writer, of first having been Mr. Jake Barnes,’” (Crouch, para. 7) is a direct statement

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a movie about both the value of memory and, because every sci-fi movie ever has this theme, playing God. Let us focus more on the memory because in my opinion it just more interesting. Joel, after his ex-girlfriend Clementine stops recognizing him, discovers she went to a clinic that allows for a memory to be removed precisely from a person's brain. Devastated, he decides to go to through the same procedure himself. Most of the movie takes place in Joel's mind as his memory is being removed.

Throughout our class this semester we learned about all different views of free will and happiness by several different philosophers. In this paper I will be speaking of the relations between a film and two sections we read. The film is the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and excerpts are from The Good Life by Charles Guignon including Rousseau’s theories on happiness, and Sarte’s theories of free will that all inter relate. In The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind a very meek Joel and the crazy Clementine start a relationship on a train across New York.

System thinking is having the ability and critical thinking skill to create a well develop system. According to Arnold (2015) System thinking is based on interacting or interdependent within a group or whole (Arnold & Wade, 2015, p. 670). The interacting and interdependent depends on the characteristics of interconnections which is how the characteristics relate to each other and the feedback that it gets from each other. This is a very important part to determine system thinking, behavior as well as its function and purpose (Arnold & Wade, 2015).

There are three systems that make up the Systems Theory Framework. The first is individual influences, which includes factors such as an individual’s religious beliefs, their gender and their physical and/or mental health.

System is a set of components or parts s interactive with each other and with inter-relations and interdependence (each of them depends on the other), which unite with each other through a certain order to form the component or All content of this system. In this TMA we will conceder on traditional forms of analysis and system thinking .both of them has similarities but also there is some differences between each others.

Ludwig von Bertalanffy, an Austrian biologist, was the founder of general systems theory. According to Robbins, Bergman, Stagg & Coulter (2008) a system is defined as, “ a set of interrelated and interdependent parts arranged in a

Systems Theory states that all elements are interrelated therefore any change in one element in the structure would affect one or more than one elements in the structure or organization. Secondly, Systems Theory states that this connection between the elements is nonlinear which means that sometimes a small change in one element would be translated as huge change in affected elements or that huge change in one element would be translated as little change in affected elements. Therefore it can be said that each component of the actual organization is, first of all, interrelated and, secondly, share a nonlinear relationship. This makes the concept of variables and understanding of those variables nearly impossible from the perspective of substantiated theories of organization and the claimed predictability of those theories about the structure of those organizations. This revolutionized the understanding of control, especially the concepts of centralized and decentralized control,

According to the general system theory, a system is a set of interrelated elements (Turban et al, 2001). However, Checkland, (1999) defines a system as a set of interacting systems, some of which do not work very well and can be engineered to work better. Yet Bocij et al. (1999) consider a system as a set of elements, such as people and things that are related to achieve goals. In this sense, Imam Mohammed Bin Saud Islamic University can be viewed as a system, and the Faculty of Computer and Information Science may be seen as a subsystem of the large system with its own function. Also, we could look to United Nation (UN)as systems and
