First part 3 questions
Using the above scenario: Briefly but Thoughtfully answer the following three questions. Systemic Thinking: Families
In a system, all members mutually affect one another. How do the shifting roles of Shanice and Michael at home potentially affect Jasmine? In what specific ways is Jasmine going to have to adapt?
How might Michael and Shanice respond differently if they were able to apply the Iceberg Model approach to their situation and explore the patterns, structures, and deep-seated beliefs that lie beneath the events?
Why do you think it is so difficult for families to see these trends, underlying structures, and beliefs in the way the system operates?
Second part 3 questions
How do the three levels of the Iceberg Model below the surface (Patterns/Trends, Underlying Structures, and Mental Models) help to better understand the initial Event - Michael's refusal to attend the dinner?
If this couple never goes below the Event level, what do you see as the likely outcome of the scenario?
What is one example from your own life where you tried to solve a similar relational problem without considering the underlying patterns, structures, and beliefs that might have been present? How could knowing about the Iceberg Model have helped you to better resolve that situation?
