Can someone explain what the word holistic means?

I've tried to google-it, but I didn't find a satisfactory answer. I asking this because I've been told by my teacher that the way I think and I write the things around me is very holistic, but I don't know what that's means at all!

Being able to see the general picture, the connections between different parts of the issue/problem/subject and how they affect each other.

Couldn't say it better, myself.

Your teacher is meaning this, contextually, it has nothing to do with natural medicine.

@Miram yeah, I've always came to this result, but honestly it doesn't explain nothing to me. I just probably overthinking about it

@Arthur14 That's how I understand it. For example , if you tackle abortion, instead of just siding with either of the two common stances, you move the lines of the battle to before pregnancy, girls' education.

I think that's what your instructor meant.

@Miram oh, I see it. So, it's like when I see something, I just don't see the whole thing, but the intrinsic details that forms the whole thing! Thanks a lot man. I think I've just needed someone to draw a hypothetical scenario for me see it better :)

@Arthur14 You see the entire picture affecting the details and the details. You are welcomed.
