Abstract

PROBLEM: The term “complexity” refers, not precisely to obstacles or difficulties, but to a set of situations, elements, including activities in the everyday world, that convert the tasks of life into a relational process. OBJECTIVE: Define how the complexity of systems is constituted to characterize and couple relationships with the context. METHOD: The documentary research technique was used, the information search focused on the collection and analysis of written and spoken information, as well as textual data through books by different authors specializing in the topic of education and complexity. RESULTS: The mere fact that a system has many parts and relationships is not the only way to characterize the complexity of systems. Talking about complexity is not a similarity of complication, but rather diverse systems designed to simplify and systematically relate a context. with another, one situation with another, and successively with each daily activity. UNFINISHED REFLECTION: Complexity directs human thought to grant a certain degree of value to each component within a system, since its value is synonymous with "everything has a function or purpose" since if it were the opposite, it would not be part of a given system. system.
