Day 1

Analyzing Problems

Problem- Too much congestion on Twin Cities highways and freeways.
Factors that may contribute to the problem-
  1. There simply aren't enough lanes or roads for the growing amount of commuters in the cities.
  2. Commuting times are too similar between workers, resulting in congestion in a short span of time.
  3. Their is a growing amount of people who are able to drive on the roadways.
Problem- Aids epidemic in Africa
Factors that may contribute to the problem-
  1. There is little, if any, education given about prevention in African countries that could help save lives.
  2. The poverty level in these countries is high, which means that there is not enough affluence to distribute wide-scale treatment or drugs.
  3. The main factors that cause the spread of HIV, which include sexual intimacy, are highly practiced.

Problem- Bullying in school

Factors that may contribute to the problem-

  1. There is not enough disciplinary action given to those who enable bullying.
  2. Peer pressure to make fun of certain individuals may be coming from their class.
  3. There is not enough information given in schools for the prevention of peer pressure/making good decisions.
