Objective:
The objective of this lesson is to equip learners with a nuanced understanding of Systemic Thinking skills and how to apply these skills across various cultural and global contexts. By the end of this lesson, learners should be able to recognize how systemic thinking varies internationally, adapt their systemic thinking processes to different cultural norms, and apply these skills to foster more effective, culturally aware problem-solving and decision-making strategies in a globalized environment.
