Content Idea: Understanding Systems
I would like to create a content series in writing, audio and video that is focused on Understanding Complex Systems. These are the systems that are all around us, where we interact with part of the system but might not understand (or question) how the broader system works. Examples of systems to explore include:
Government: How does the Federal, State, and Local Government work? How do our courts function effectively? What other systems of government are there?
Movies: How are movies made? What are the roles of those on a movie? What does a producer do? How does filmmaking work? How are movies distributed?
Medicine: How are drugs developed? What are clinical trials? What makes drugs so expensive?
Hospitals: How do hospitals work? What are they incentivized to do? What do doctors do? What are all of the administrative responsibilities? What role do electronic health records play? What are the major companies involved?
News: How do News organizations work and what is the difference between news and opinion?
Sports: How do professional sports teams work?
Education: How do our institutes of education work? How do colleges and universities work in Higher Education? How do local schools work? What about trade schools? Who determines our curriculum? What do school boards do?
Financial Markets: How do your financial markets work? What is the Federal Reserve? The Treasury? How do banks work? What impacts interest rates? What do economic indicators mean?
Military: How does the Military work? What are the branches? What are the ranks of generals? What is military strategy?
Taxes: Where does each dollar of our taxes go? And who determines how to spend that money?
Computers: How do computers work? Where do you find electronics?
