Moreover, considering and understanding them in their essence, in depth and detail, in a holistic, differentiated, but integrated, connected and related way.

Not, as traditionally is the case, considering and understanding the issues from the top down and from the outside in, in a fragmented, generalized, dissociated and disconnected way, in the abstract.

Understanding and managing them from the social-collective, the political, economic, scientific and technological level down to the individual. Understanding, managing and improving our existence through understanding and managing external conditions and the world around us. Dividing and separating existence and development, demands and challenges, problems and difficulties into different subject matters, disciplines, fields of study and areas of human activity, specialization and expertise, each defined and governed by competing and conflicting assumptions, objectives, approaches and practices.
