Systems
Systems are very prevalent in everyday life. I would go as far as to say it would be difficult to find someting that couldn't be classified as a system. Even writing this post is part of a system. Information is the input. My brain analyzes it and passes its conclusions to my hands. Then afterwards, my hands type it into this blog. This is a slightly generalized description of what actually happens, but it shows the concept. Perhaps this is why people thinking in terms of systems is so natural to people. Systems are what we do.
A day in anyone's life is like a giant system. You wake up and your eyes input the weather information to you. Your stomach tells you how much you should eat. You go through your day reacting to inputs and creating new outputs, which in turn are inputs for the next step. With this being so natural, I find it odd that people spend so much time thinking about how to create them. It should come naturally after all.
How come something so natural doesn't come naturally to people? My guess is because they are trying to create a system for something that isnt' natural to them. I would imagine if the very same person was trying to map out the process of something they are naturally inclined to do, it would become a much easier task for them.
