Reductionistic Approach

The reductionistic approach is a way of understanding complex systems by breaking them down into their simpler components. Instead of looking at an entire organism, phenomenon, or idea at once, reductionism focuses on individual parts to see how they work together. For example, in biology, studying a single cell can reveal insights about an entire organism. While this method can provide valuable insights, it may overlook the interactions and relationships that occur when components are combined, leading to a less complete understanding of the whole system.
