8/15 Weekly Edition: Systems - From Health to Law
A brief reflection will draw on the omnipotence of systems all around us: The pandemic developed a system for combatting the COVID-19 virus; the World Health Organization developed a system to aid those in need; the American Supreme Court has a law system to keep order. Sometimes, systems are needed for the order, yet on other occasions, they may be questioned on their validity. This week's articles range from evaluating the systematic strategizing of Covid, explaining a crisis the WHO system is in, to a rhetorical piece on reactions towards an unjust law system. Enjoy.
