Remember

The term "holistic thinking" refers to a big picture mentality in which a person
recognizes the interconnectedness of various elements that form larger systems,
patterns and objects. Thinking holistically is the opposite of analysing something,
which involves breaking down a larger system into its details.
In philosophy, point of view describes the perception of an event or
phenomenon and how exactly it is viewed. Point of view often is shaped by an
individual's beliefs or experiences.
Reflection is vital in ensuring that our actions and decisions are well thought
out and are done with due regard for their implications and consequences on
ourselves, others, and our surroundings.
When we reflect, we can judge whether our actions or decisions are
reasonable or not.
Doing Philosophy enables a person to engage in critical analysis and
interpretation of concepts, definitions, arguments, and problems.
Doing Philosophy also improves problem-solving and decision making. The
ability to analyze a problem or dilemma identifies the significant aspects, and come
up with alternative solutions is an important skill learned through philosophy.
In the process of doing philosophy, it is critical to have a holistic point of view-
the perception of looking at all aspects of a situation first before making a conclusion.
 Finally, knowledge of Philosophy can contribute to self-development
.
