3. Why do we need system?
Every problem, however small or big, can be handled through System Thinking. It serves as a
tool to approach a problem and bring about a change in the system by arriving at a solution. But
there is no fixed formula to look at a problem and System thinking allows you to adapt your ways of
approaching. A system is made up of small and big components and every component will have
different issues at different levels. As nothing works in isolation, each of these elements are
depended on the other to deliver optimum output and functioning. According to System Thinking,
small change made at the right point can bring about a major change in the structure and thus, in
the entire environment and society.
9. Why do we need Structures?
Structure helps us understand complex situation very clearly. Often problem solvers cannot visualize a situation
well. A clear recognition of a complex situation increases efficiency of Problem Solving.
With this one can find out loop holes easily and also know where one needs to push to get the work done better. An
unorganized body of elements might not function to its optimum efficiency levels while if organized into a well
defined structure with a certain work-flow, it might prove to work much better. Having an understanding of
structures in a system increases the efficiency of work, saves time, money and efforts and helps in making a better

13. When is growth unhealthy?
To me growth of anything comes with a cost as they say “no gain without pain”. Take any case such as
over production of food grains, vegetables, milk, raw material; the list is
endless but we hardly care about the cost of the growth. What kind of artificial mineral is being used to
increase food production, which kind of injection is injected into
vegetables to make it ripe in a day to get ready for market next day, how many hormones in a day, are
given to buffaloes to extract more milk? Growth is not good or bad.
It is when growth exceeds that need; than it becomes a problem.
