Overview
In our society, it’s crucial to be able to understand context and solve problems, whether it’s for civic or professional reasons. Problem solving is necessary for leaders at all levels—from those in charge of profitable and diverse industries to nonprofit volunteer positions. The research process is one fundamental practice that ensures individuals can develop, express, and justify solutions.
In your initial post, in 1-paragraph, introduce yourself to your peers. Next, in 1 to 2 paragraphs, describe a problem that you or a group of people you interact with are experiencing. Explain the main characteristics of the problem, the obstacles you face in getting it solved, and your goal. Then address the following questions:
- How would you solve the problem?
- What research and resources will you need to solve it?
- How would you justify your solution?
