Zooming

Zooming image
There is an activity as part of Systems Thinking which is zooming in and zooming out. According to studies at the Cornell University people tend to not zoom out. Nearly everyone zooms in, nearly no one zooms out. I think that I’m part of “nearly no one”. 

In Systems Thinking theory zooming in refers to breaking up a whole into parts. Then taking a part and breaking it up again, and so on. Zooming out is taking a whole and looking at it as part of something bigger. Then taking that again and look what it’s a part of. When using different perspectives zooming in and zooming out is not necessarily a repeatable process.
