new topic/ organizations as organisms

I have changed my topic. My new topic is the law that allows illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition in California. When I applied the organization as organisms assumptions to my new problem there are a lot of possible applications or perspectives. Specifically, the assumption of interacting components can be seen on multiple levels from the community, state government, universities, departments, students etc. The assumption dealing with boundaries, for example, involves a clear division between state government and universities. Finally if I understand the last assumption correctly (Systems receive inputs from the environment, transform them in some way and then return them to the environment) that would mean that the state government received inputs regarding the illegal immigrant student population and then the government transformed the input and introduced the in-state tuition law. I know we are going to talk more about organizations as organisms in class. I guess I am just thinking out loud, but I welcome any thoughts on this topic.
