A system denotes a plan, scheme, method or arrangement and its existence is essential for the performance of an action by all animate beings. System, when exists in the administration of a country is called as the political system, when prevails in the human body it takes the name of a human system and so on. Any system would, therefore, associate itself with the features or actions required through that system. On an analysis of the systems it may be seen that an underlying factor exists viz., that the system will be a dependent one and that it cannot remain in isolation. For instance, humans require a human system, animals necessitating their system, plant kingdom taking its own plant system, an office established for an office system, a political party is but essential for a political system, a religious denomination becomes a must for propagation of its religious precepts and principles, a social fabric in a given discipline say music remain to be a must fir its systematic function and likewise the list is endless. What is implicit and present in all the systems is a factor of dependency and this cannot be ruled out. Mere presence of a dependent factor and a system associated with it will be meaningless unless what the dependent factor requires is supplied by that system. Further more what is furnished by the system and the manner in which it is furnished also assume significance. Absence of a dependent factor do not require a system but the malfunctioning or dysfunctional of the system would cause concern and time and attention will have to be devoted to it. On the other hand, presence of a dependent factor calls for systematic activity of the system so as to enable the dependent factor to meet its requirements. and the system in its course would get associated and get overhauled for its renewed function. Hence dependency on a system is part and parcel of one's life and what factors are created as dependent factors and what system is to be devised for it is all left in the hands of the person seeking to meet the various ends in life.
Liked this post. I am a fan of studying and optimizing systems for effective functioning. In fact good companies rely on systems to make their people effective. Even so, if an average person is entering the system, the smartness of the systems makes the person become more efficient. In personal sphere too, creating ones own tools and being creative to device them is hallmark of efficient and disciplined work. Understanding problems requires systems thinking and that would disable making mistakes that happen when seeing parts than whole.
