This assignment requires a description and personal interpretation of the quote(s) from the Meadows (2008) book about the role of models in understanding the world, and the limitations and successes of these models in systems thinking. Two unique examples will be provided

“Everything we think we know about the world is a model. Every word and every language is a model. All maps and statistics, books and databases, equations and computer programs are models. So are the ways I picture the world in my head—my mental models. None of these is or ever will be the real world.”
“Our models usually have a strong congruence with the world. That is why we are such a successful species in the biosphere.”
“However, and conversely, our models fall far short of representing the world fully. That is why we make mistakes and why we are regularly surprised.”
