Role of Social Responsibility in Prevention of the COVID-19 Outbreak from Systems Thinking Perspective

Abstract

Due to the lengthy process of producing the COVID-19 vaccine, most countries are trying to implement various low-cost strategies to slow down the spread of the virus and try to normalize the living conditions in society besides reducing the current recession. Comprehension of the cause and effect enables us to analyze, sort out, and explain how changes have happened in the existing problems. In fact, by taking the advantages of Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs), which reflect the causal connections among components of a system and how changes would affect other components and finally back to itself, we can draw an explicit map of the process of infecting patients by COVID-19.
