We all know that we live in a world of many complex systems. Much has been said on what is a System. I have another view, developed 4 yrs back.

We can possibly divide most systems into 3 components:

1. Active Part
2. Passive Part
3. Rules and Enforcement

Map these to the various systems we have:

Educational System:

1. Participating people – teachers, students, parents, govt officials etc (society)
2. School infrastructure
3. Educational Acts and Rules. Their implementation.

Transportation System:

1. The people driving, different types of vehicles
2. Road network, traffic lights, markings -
3. Traffic Laws and rules, and the Traffic police to enforce the laws

Judicial/Legal System, etc

Breaking down systems in these 3 components, would help put together a systematic approach to “system correction”.
