Illustrates moving from a Causal Loop Diagram (scroll to the right) to a stocks & flows representation.  Press Simulate to see graphs. Note that the "pulse" represents something like eating a donut and the graphs show how the body responds.  Which part of the system relates to whether someone may or may not need to take insulin?

Aim: To gain insight into what map and model representations in applied systems methods in IM-1267 can assist identifying and explaining the improvement strategies (leverage points) described by Donella Meadows Leverage Points Systemswiki . The context is social learning for collective action to improve real world events. Information Sources are adapted from IM-920
