Problem solving social

The development and improvement of scientific-technical level of NDT and TD means for safety issues is connected with the necessity to find additional investments that must be taken into account at the stage of new technogenic objects designing, when solving new arising problems in social, economic, ecological and medical safety. It is not accidental, that the expenses for safe nuclear power plants operation cover 50% of total sum for construction work capital investments.

The issue of what is the best kind of university preparation for environmental work remains controversial. Some claim that environmental problem-solving requires broadly trained individuals. They argue that universities need to establish environmental specialist degrees at the bachelors, masters and doctoral levels because narrowly trained specialists are unable to deal with the social, economic, and political as well as scientific aspects of environmental problems. Others (7) have argued that environmental problems cannot be attacked effectively using the blunted lances of the well rounded. We need, they say, people who are solidly... 

The challenge of wicked problems is exacerbated by social complexity - the number and diversity of stakeholders in the problem-solving process.

We have been aware ever since Jerison s (1973) seminal analyses that primates have unusually large brains for their body size. The central question is why this should be so. A number of alternative hypotheses have been proposed over the years, but recent analyses seem to be converging rapidly on the view that, in primates at least, the brain evolved to solve social problems (Brothers 1990, Sawaguchi Kudo 1992, Dunbar 1992, Barton... 

Intellectual capacity is considered in the context of an individual s social, cultural, and educational opportunities. The presentation of problem-solving situations congruent with one s life circumstances is an excellent way to determine intellect and capacity to make sound judgments. Insight has many levels of meaning. It may simply refer to a basic appreciation of how and why individuals finds themselves in their present situations, or it can refer to a person s appreciation of a more complex set of causal relationships that have culminated in the present problem.
