In my three hour course, we are given a question and collaborate together to give solutions to the question, and the class usually gives different responses. For example, our topic at the moment is food security, and we saw a documentary about different families and their problems they struggle with. What I took from this video was that problems like these do not have simple solutions. Everything is connected, and when one thing changes, it creates a “domino effect”. So in my group, I can attempt to see the flaws we have in our group project and help contribute to find ways to solve these problems and also see what is affected by our actions.

Overall the presentation was very interesting and informative to show what CAN does and what they have accomplished. Raul Alvarez, the speaker, did very good in presenting his information. The most interesting thing for me was that although they had so much progress in many of their goals, but 4 of the 5 basic needs indicators worsened these past years. It took me by surprise to how much progress one can have but fall in other places. It is important to look at wicked problems locally because it shows how much work our city actually needs. Many places around the world have similar problems, so if we are able to fix our own problems, we may use our knowledge to help others.
