Complex systems theory

the other way around. Sophocles is able to reflect the edifications of psychoanalysis in “Oedipus”.          Freud’s Oedipus Complex is very consequential in Sophocles’  “Oedipus’’ for giving a psychoanalytical reading on it. The Oedipus complex was his theory of mind, and as such he asserted that present day mental illnesses were related to this complex. The Oedipus complex is predicated on Freud’s observation that children are seen commonly to have fallen in love with one parent and developed an

Introduction Arguing for evolution by natural selection to be stated as a fact is a wholly misplaced argument. Evolution by natural selection is a theory and theory is just a five letter word for an idea that cannot yet be proven. Such is the case in the arguments for and against evolution by natural selection. Looking at the weakness of the theory of Darwinian evolution is the perfect place to start to argue against evolution by natural selection. Two weakness of Darwinism in relation to creationism

Critique: System and Change in Industrial Relations Analysis As a student of industrial relations, I am often bombarded with conflicting theories and reasons for the emergence and importance of this field. Edmond Heery outlines and analyses the justaposition of two different views of modeling this vast and often debated area of industrial relations. His article looks at two types of model building in IR. First, the traditional model of systems-thinking set forth by John Dunlop, one of the pioneers

ethical temperament needed to take responsibility for the problem and the skill-set to effectively correct the problem (Ellen & Ascalon, page 189). Emotionally and psychologically toxic workplaces can be framed through the following theories for redress: systems theory explains the interconnectedness and interrelations

parametric design is a process of finding suitable parameters for a design problem and setting up a predicted computed model which can be used to explore the possible solutions. Therefore, it helps architects to generate precise forms instead of very complex and sophisticated relations between elements and subsystems (Schumacher, 2008) . This means that parametric design aims to produce simple forms which are less complicated and related somehow to the form abstraction. In terms of physical models, the

maturing neurons more time to migrate and develop greater connections during gestational periods10. This helped the brain become bigger and in addition, helped it form more synapses between neurons, producing biological fitness. According to Darwin’s theory of natural selection, the species with traits that allow them to thrive in the environment are more likely to survive and succeed and produce offspring. The development of an intelligent brain with many synapses was helpful for foraging behaviours

part of the literature revive discussed the Vaughan’s (1996) analysis, which found the human errors are one of the main reasons of resulting the Challenger shuttle disaster. Also, by outlining Perrow’s (1999) Normal Accident theory, it argues that complex interaction system caused the inevitability of this accident. The second part of the literature review outlined seven points related to the Challenger shuttle disaster of Deming’s (1986) 14 points. These points were guidelines of improvements of

things we see in nature, especially with regard to living things, being created by a powerful, hyper-intelligent Creator. He stands to reason that biological components of even the ‘simplest’ cells possess features that are entirely too “irreducibly complex” to have come about by slow, gradual naturalistic processes, and would require the intervention and handiwork of Someone who could build such structures. Even unimaginably small organelles on what are assumed to be the most primitive of bacterial

This essay assesses property dualism, a theory of mind. It proclaims the existence of a single, physical substance (unlike Cartesian dualism), but argues that this single substance has two potential properties: physical and mental states that are not reducible. The idea that mental states are non-reducible properties of brain states is the central tenant of a theory of mind called property dualism. However, before we can assess the theory we must be aware that the question assumes the existence
