Question

Cite a situation where you adopted a holistic view in looking at a problem or situation .how did adopting a holistic view help you make sense of the situation?​

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The situation where I adopted a holistic view of looking at a problem or situation was the time in which we had internal problems in the classroom that affected the socializing and harmony of the group. In the beginning, a just listened to one side of the story and my opinion was biased. However,  when I was taught about the holistic approach, I learned how to be a better neutral observer and realized that there were many factors involved in the situation. So I saw the whole of the problem, not just one side.

Adopting a holistic view helped me make sense of the situation because I understood the different arguments of each side and other and other factors that were outside of my control. It gave me more patience to change what was in my hands, and tolerate and respect what was out of my reach.
