General Systems Theory (GST) is a framework that analyzes systems, both natural and social, by focusing on the interconnectedness of their components rather than individual parts. It emphasizes a holistic approach, considering systems as complex entities and recognizing their capacity for interaction, adaptation, and self-regulation. Ludwig von Bertalanffy pioneered the theory in the 20th century, influencing fields like psychology, sociology, and ecology.
