People, institutions and the wider world are connected. This model helps discuss social resilience through relationships between three dimensions.

and analysis
The diagram helps formulate a hypothesis. Evidence, context and open discussion help test it.
Do not reduce a complex situation to a single circle or turn the model into a universal ranking. Each case needs its own questions and evidence for conclusions.
