Description

Submit 1–2 pages in which you explain a problem that has been troubling you. It might be something in your discipline, neighborhood, or community. It might be a problem in a field that interests you, such as a problem that is keeping you from moving forward in your field. Consider your perspective of the problem and whether others would have the same or a different perspective.

Refer to steps in the Problem-Solving Guidance Handout (see the Learning Resources) as you address the following in your paper:

• Formulate a problem statement.
• Describe your own perspective of the problem. Then, describe the problem from at least one perspective other than your own.
• Answer the following questions about the problem:

o   Who is affected by the problem?

o   When does the problem happen?

o   Where is the problem happening?

o   Why solve it? Why not?
