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?

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.

despite recent progress in bangladesh in the areas of poverty and human development indicators such as literacy and life expectancy, inequalities in income and consumption rates have increased, with 32% of the population living below the poverty line.

bangladesh is one of the world’s most densely populated countries; the size of illinois, bangladesh has a population of 156 million people, half the population of the united states. despite recent progress out of poverty and increasing human development indicators such as literacy and life expectancy, inequalities in income and consumption rates have increased (undp 2005). 32% of the population lives below the national poverty line, most of whom are women and children. the prevalence of child (under 5) malnutrition is 33%, one of the highest in the world.

the disproportionate poverty faced by women and girls comes as a result of discrimination and exclusion within bangladeshi society, struggling to establish their rights and influence in decision-making processes. traditional practices such as dowries, child marriages and the relegation of being last to eat have created a demeaning and dangerous sociopolitical context for girls and women.
