You believe that understanding and addressing the interconnectedness of all aspects of a system will lead to more effective and sustainable solutions.
Holism is a political ideology that emphasizes the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts. It is derived from the Greek word "holos," which means "whole" or "all." This ideology posits that systems and their properties should be viewed as wholes, not just as a collection of parts. It is a perspective that sees society as an integrated and organic entity, where each part is as significant as the whole, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Holism as a political ideology is often associated with social and environmental…

What could be the impact on society if everyone adopted a holistic view on waste and consumption?
@9JT3QQM1yr1Y
Not good, no diversity in other peoples views on this topic so it would humans would be stuck and eventually wipe themselves of the planet.
@9JT3G781yr1Y
I think that with Holism, we can understand people better and have mutual understanding.
I think the impact would be moderate to large and very positive, since viewing these problems as a whole reveals that corporations are behind most environmental damage, and we can begin to regulate them properly.
@9JT2VF81yr1Y
If everyone took this view, there would be an environmental increase within society.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you experienced a time when considering the needs of many, rather than a few, led to a better outcome in a project?
@9KWBZDZ1yr1Y
I have not personally. Normally it should be the job of a government to look out for the minorities and marginalized parts of society, but when looking at say - the super rich verses the super poor, there are obviously more poor and the government should have policies and programs that support and protect the disadvantaged. In European countries that have greater social protections, it is more likely that a person will advance in social economic position than in the United States.
@9KW6DNB1yr1Y
Yes, but not all the time did it lead to a better outcome.
@9KW68P51yr1Y
Part of a democracy is representing all types of people, but also listening to the majority. Finding the balance between the two is key.

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does the idea that 'no man is an island' resonate with you in terms of your place within your social circles?
@9HTLFC72yrs2Y
It's sometimes easier to work with a group because everyone is coming up with ideas and working on different angles of the same problem.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How might the rise of technology and the internet have demonstrated holism in the modern world?
@9HLTXRR2yrs2Y
I feel like most people are now dependent on technology
@9HLTMV7 2yrs2Y
The essence of how science and technology contributes to society is the creation of new knowledge, and then utilization of that knowledge to boost the prosperity of human lives, and to solve the various issues facing society.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
When working on a challenging problem, how can seeking a variety of opinions lead to more comprehensive solutions?

How can we better understand the importance of community well-being when making daily lifestyle choices?
@9HYT8YB1yr1Y
I think to stop separating based on certain aspects would help.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways can prioritizing mental health in your community create benefits that extend beyond individual well-being?
@9KSLRBNIndependent 1yr1Y
If we prioritize mental health then every individual will be getting the help they need and we will all be better off as a nation.
Prioritizing mental health is extremely beneficial- if most everyone is happy and stable then the world can run smoother
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can looking beyond first impressions in relationships reveal a deeper understanding of a person's actions?
The topic of Holism is how one can look beyond first impressions like being respectful of people's ideology

When you look beyond, you begin to see people who you wouldn't otherwise agree with.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When have you felt part of something larger than yourself and how did that influence your actions or feelings?

While being apart of JROTC and marching in a platoon, marching and calling cadence, it fills you with a type of joy that is kind of indescribable.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can social media campaigns be more influential when they address the broader social context rather than just one issue?
@9HNCVCB2yrs2Y
Yes because there are a ton of issues that intertwine with each other
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think the concept of 'everything is connected' applies to relationships in your own life?
@9HNCZS2Independent2yrs2Y
I have a lot of "small world" moments and so does my family. So maybe everything is connected some way some how.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can a shift towards holistic thinking in your day-to-day decisions affect your long-term goals and relationships?
@9KW389X1yr1Y
Yes it could be affecting your long-term goals in the future.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you see the concept of interdependence shaping the future of work and cooperation in diverse teams?
@9KYZH8Q1yr1Y
I would say someone who seeks for the better of others and listens to their opinions to give others what they need.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can emphasizing empathy and compassion in policy making at your school lead to a more supportive environment for all?
@9L2DQ4J1yr1Y
The effect of compassion on others can sway people in a way that brings them together.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What is an instance where a small act of kindness within your school had a larger impact than you anticipated?

How does your choice of extracurricular activities reflect the idea that diverse experiences contribute to personal growth?
@9KHMD26 1yr1Y
My two extracurricular activities are exercising and playing tabletop games with my friends. Exercise keeps me active and fit. playing tabletop games with my friends fosters creativity, social well being, and improves mental health. All of this factors into my personal growth and I become a more well rounded and healthy person.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you seen a global issue differently after learning about its local impact on individuals or communities?
@9KFHCJL1yr1Y
Understanding the local impact of global issues often reveals the nuanced challenges faced by individuals and communities, shedding light on the interconnected nature of problems and emphasizing the importance of holistic approaches to address them.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does recognizing the value of everyone's input during a group discussion change the outcome?
@9KN98SB1yr1Y
The value of holism means everyone putting in their input during a group discussion means that not everyone has the same political views of what our country should be held and why politics should not be in charge of everything.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can drawing on various subjects' knowledge when tackling a project lead to more innovative solutions?
@9KGRPRM1yr1Y
Holism means that the whole cannot exist without the combination of all of its parts, in this case If you have the ability to gain multiple sources of perspective and knowledge when developing a solution that solution will always be a more complete well rounded solution as opposed to a solution developed by an individual.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What lessons have you learned from experiences where unified action by students drove positive change in your school’s culture?
@9KWQG2R1yr1Y
that everything that you do as the opportunity to matter
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
If you had to solve a problem at your school or community, would you focus on individual issues or the system as a whole, and why?
@9HG9RDSRepublican2yrs2Y
I would focus on individual issues because this would be a faster way of getting things done.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How might countries applying a holistic approach to immigration policies benefit both newcomers and local communities?
@9JSM9FS1yr1Y
I guess do what you want and what you feel helps, albeit with assistance via actual medical aid.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Why do you think it's important to consider the effects of our actions on others and the environment when making choices?
@9HP6QQ52yrs2Y
We need to think before we act to ensure that our action will not harm innocent parties.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What would happen if students collectively decided to take on an issue in your school using a holistic perspective?
@9L4JQ7F1yr1Y
We should gather together to fight the odds but... I don't know what holism means boo boo.
