Abstract

Starting from the video HOW WOLVES CHANGE RIVERS (by Chris Agnos - Sustainable Man), I'm going to try to talk about what a systemic perspective is through the way that Gregory Bateson described the world. I intend to focus on two central ideas - our maps of the world and the pattern, which connects – to talk about epistemology, learning, climate change, and the humanitarian crisis.
