Drawing a Causal Loop = Systems Thinking Identify a SOCIAL DIVIDE you wish to understand Tell the STORY as you understand it (different individuals will have different angles to the story ) Identify the VARIABLES Show the LINKS between variables Label the RELATIONSHIPS between variables as either S or O Determine the NATURE OF THE LOOP as either R or B CHECK if the causal loop depicts the story as you (individual or group) understands it.
Variables Issue Possible Variables Unemployed graduates Needs of employers Training-job match Rate of starting salary Pollution level Source of livelihood Garbage disposal system Degradation of environment
Relationship between Variables S ame When one variable goes up, the other goes up; when one goes down, the other also goes down When one variable goes up, the other goes down; when one goes down, the other goes up O pposite
Nature of the Loop R einforcing No O or even count Events lead to growing or declining consequences Events lead to stability & resistance to change B alancing If odd counts of O
