Unit 5 - Systems & Scales

Group Discussion

System diagrams are useful for explaining large scale social changes such as the movement of American jobs to overseas locations.

Your group should create a systems diagram to explore the this topic. You don't need to do much research. Just use what you know about social institutions, idealism & materialism, and the structure/agency debate to look at this as a social change.

While the diagram needs "boxes" with social elements, keep in mind that the main focus should be on the "arrows" or flows of information and energy in the system.
