The world is full of people who want to simplify everything that is complex. It really can't be done. They do it by finding someone to blame, as though that solves the problem. They define the results and think Bandaid but do not realize that the dike will still leak until the breach is repaired. It seems that everyone has a solution to the problem of the gushing oil in the Gulf of Mexico but none can define the problem.
War in Afghanistan is another problem with which everyone has advice but understand little about consequences to just pulling out after having been there as a presence for more than ten years. Most people who are even too young to remember Shinola don't remember what they cannot differentiate from it. Everyone thinks they can do a better job than Obama but have no idea about what the man is juggling and how brilliant he really is, even if we disagree with him. My biggest gripe is that he has left the money people that Bush put into place and rescued Goldman Sachs who laugh at the rest of us who are keeping them rich, we the taxpayers.
Creating Minds,org has some interesting ideas about defining problems. One suggestion in to scope out boundary of problems. For a full list and some suggestions, click here. WikiHow also has a way to define a problem. Einstein is quoted as having said that if he had one hour to save the world he would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem and only five minutes finding the solution.

When will people learn that you can't paint until you have prepared the surface. You can't treat a medical condition until you have made a diagnosis. You can't make a solution until you have defined the problem in its entirety, especially the cause..
