Competencies: Strategic Problem Solving

The Discovery Survey was a critical experience towards my learning process because it questioned my discovery subject and I on my priorities about issues dealing with the environment. After filling out the survey, my grandma (My Discovery Subject) and I both said that cleaner air should be the most important issue that the government should focus on about the environment. This activity made me focus on strategic problem-solving as well because all of the questions were making me define problems that lead to certain situations in the environment. For example, one question asked about if a clean environment would provide you with better recreation opportunities. Both my grandma and I answered that we somewhat agree with that question. Another question asked if we should care about what pollution does to people not about what it does to other species. Both my grandma and I responded that we strongly disagree with that question. Questions like this example can relate back to our answer about the “most important issue” because those questions deal with why it is important to have cleaner air. Some ways that we can help get cleaner air is by joining a campaign for an environmentally-friendly political candidate, or pushing the issue of increasing the use of hybrid cars.
