  • Considers multiple points of view and analyzes motivations behind multiple sources of information.
  • Recognizes problems and needs within a societal, community, or workplace context in order to develop solutions.
  • Examines information broadly, analyzes data, and utilizes critical thinking.
  • Develops multiple solutions using hypotheses/ trial and error to test and determine effectiveness.

Reframing is one step you can take in using an analysis-solution mindset.

When you reframe the way you look at things, you can see other perspectives and come up with new solutions. Dr. Tina Seelig, a Professor at Stanford University, explains that changing the frame changes the range of solutions to a problem.

For example: What is the sum of 5 plus 5?

Versus: What two numbers add up to 10?

Reframing isn’t just about taking a step back to look at the context, it is sometimes about looking at the smaller parts of a bigger issue. This can help you feel less overwhelmed and stressed when you approach a big issue one part at a time

For example:
Balancing academic work with your personal life responsibilities can be complicated. How can you approach this larger issue with a series of smaller solutions that can add together to create big changes?

Sample submission. As usual there are no right or wrong answers.

1. What is a problem you see in your community, your workplace/internship, or in college?

The homeless population is increasing in Los Angeles.

2. How can you reframe the way you look at the problem? Other points of view you should consider?
