1. We know what we don't know by realizing the spaces or gaps in our intelligence when faced with a new situation.
When we realize that we do not know everything then we know what we do not know.
2. Once what we do not know is discovered then we can learn that.
3. If what we accomplish is lower in value than a particular act that we perform then the omission becomes more significant than the act.
4. We know how good our lenses are through "hindsight".

Midterm exam, essay questions 1 and 2. The Problem I wish to identify as important to me is the aggregious ampount of disparity allowed to exist in ou
Identifying a Problem:
In our world we have in North America, an obesity epidemic. Meaning that people here are consuming fatal amounts of food. Yet, just a few time zones away on the continent of Africa and other places, starvation is a major cause of death. This should not be.
Funny thing is that while this is a problem indeed, it is only an indicator of a much larger problem of society. Or a symptom of an even greater disease.
To solve a problem first we accept that a problem exists, in this case the disparity undeniably exists.
Next we identify possible solutions or alternatives, then we weigh those opportunities or solutions to determine which will work best at solving the problem.
In this case, a great solution would be The New World Order, or "unified world Government", which would insure the well being of all earth's residents.
There may also be an exercise of experiment to see which solution best addresses the problem until finally, after all relevant speculation the problem and the new solution may be analyzed to judge it's effectiveness.
