Systemic Perspective

From WikiSD

Viewing the world with a Systemic Perspective means getting beyond the cause and effect mentality to realize events are simply more involved. Once one learns to consider relationships, and then look to the behavior over time of those relationships, and finally to the systemic structure that is the real foundation of the behavior over time, one has managed to get to a Systemic Perspective.

When one realizes that the most sensible answer to "Why does it rain?" is "Because it rains." and all the interrelations between the two that make that true, then they definitely attained a Systemic Perspective.
