Stereotypes, for instance, are a characteristic -- or bundle (or product) of System One. Stereotypes essentially consist of clumping people who 'belong 'to us in 'in groups and people who are alien to us in 'out' groups. This in turn evokes our response to them. Although it can lead into prejudicial and non-ethical as well as possibly harmful behavior -- and harmful both to self and others -- stereotypes can also be useful. With the rapid, almost unknowing pockmarking of people into groups we are able to quickly formulate decisions and choose our friends as well as avoid our enemies. This comes in useful not only in times of war, but also during other times when we have to be on our guard.
It is not for naught that gurus of pop-psychology frequently recommend that we listen to our intuitions or that 'small, thin' voice', That small thin voice is System One. And sometimes it can help us.
Camilla's response;
Camilla is struck by Kahnaman's description of his method:
The introduction starts off with Kahneman describing himself as a water cooleru by aiming to improve the reader's ability to identify and understand errors of judgment by providing a richer and more precise language to discuss them. u (pg.4) & #8230; The way I perceived it is that flow for Kahneman is reaching perfection.
I thank Camilla for pointing this out. It made me contrast this with another philosopher's description of his...
Socrates. And Socrates compared himself to a midwife. It was striking to me how each thinker, both classical and modern, used images that were evocative of their times. Ancient Greece was absorbed in giving birth. This was often done at home, the natural, tedious way. No epidurals or penicillin then. The midwife was the one who labored, hand in hand breath with the laboring woman. She helped the woman give birth. Socrates compared himself to laboriously helping people develop their thoughts.
Kahanamn employed an image that is far more passive and automatic than that of Socrates. Work is almost non-existent for us today. We have technology. We receive rather than work at something. Kahanman's image is the water-cooler. It spurts water at us. Presumably at the other end it is mechanized and a machine (the electricity) forces the water out. In the first place, Socrates had the person manually and laboriously works at his own thinking. In the second place, Kahanman of the 20th century had the water-cooler spurt the enlightenment on the person. Socrates' analogy actually seems closer to reality, since being informed of the Systems is insufficient. One has to internalize the knowledge (labor on it), in order to yield the practical and pragmatic results of the process.

Third, subsystems engineers are more attuned to how their specific product and technology areas are driven by external market forces and market dynamics than system engineers typically are. The reason is that subsystem engineers, both hardware and software, seek to understand how customer and market needs impact their existing and future designs. As both of these classes of subsystem engineers are more focused on how to create valuable contributions
Finally, the SDLC Model also leads to greater alignment of software application features with customer requirements, which is also measurable. As the role of the systems analyst becomes more closely aligned with customer strategies over and above that of being merely the implementers of technology to business strategists, the role of the SDLC becomes a necessary framework for initiating and delivering lasting process change to an organization. Systems' Analysts Most
Systems Engineering Systems Simulation Replicating the performance of a complex system through the use of systems simulation provides invaluable insight into the constraints, workflows and processes that determine its optimal level of performance. The use of systems simulation in oil refineries, process manufacturing, discrete and complex manufacturing including constraint-based modeling of customized equipment all provide valuable insights into how to continually improve process performance. The use of systems simulation is becoming commonplace
4) II. Peter Senge - the Learning Organization Peter Senge, who describes himself as the "idealistic pragmatist" states that learning organizations are: "...organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together." (1990: p.3) the learning organization in the view of
To the extent the totality of circumstances suggest that possibility, even acceptance of the most nominal gratuities (i.e. A cup of coffee) is ethically inappropriate. Similarly, even where the gratuity involved is of nominal value and there is no potential misunderstanding on the part of the individual proffering an otherwise appropriate gratuity, there is the issue of creating the appearance or inference of an improper relationship from the perspective of
Subway Finance and Info Systems The practice of finance and accounting is a very important component within the context of business operations. As the global economy continues its tepid pace of expansion, cost controls are now paramount to company success. Managing inventory, sales, loss, and other financial aspects are critical to the success of any franchise. Subway is no different in this regard as the company must content with intense price
