Systems theory shows us how systems adapt and change in response to feedback loops from the environment in order to maintain stability and to keep living. For example, when children become teenagers the family system is forced to adapt, despite some challenges, most families move to a new level of functioning and continue growing. Natural ecosystems have adapted to changes in the environment for millennia.
However the current western political and economic system, with its fascination in continuous "growth" (which goes against the cyclic, interdependent nature of nature) is not paying attention to the feedback loops from social and environmental degradation, the polarisation of wealth and disadvantage.
Fundamental to this is the majority of the worlds people are blind to this feedback which government and corporations mask behind propaganda and ideology through their control of the media.
The world is sending us feedback that we need to respond to, to take us to a new level of global functioning, maybe or maybe not through political activism....
Maybe the first step is to wake up to these global issues and activate your heart, and how you live will be part of the change.
