Problem Posing Method (HW)

Q1. Define the problem in your own words.
Ans. Hundreds and thousands of people were moving to Colorado Springs since 1990’s. This created a spur in all kinds of industries, like shopping malls, supermarkets, gas stations, and most of all fast foods. Colorado Springs’ population doubled from what it was in the 1970’s. Most of Colorado Spring residents have lived less than five years there. From it picking up from being a sleepy tourist town to a hustle-bustle city in 50 years is fanatic.
Q2. Give a quotation to represent the problem, and explain how it represents the problem.
Ans. “In many ways Colorado Spring today is what Los Angeles was fifty years ago- a mecca for the disenchanted middle class, a harbinger of cultural trends, a glimpse of future.”
This quote to me means that Colorado Spring became a mini Los Angeles with people who were weary of rough and tough life. It has a possibility of turnover in cultural trends or could initiate more hidden changes. It also gave a view of what laid ahead for Colorado Spring i.e. the sprawl of industries
Q3. Personalize the problem with an anecdote or observation from your own life. Explain.
Ans. To migrate from a crowded city after retirement or to retreat from the fast life, is a common thing for Americans. Many people get frustrated and want to relax after a long run in their lives. Such a thing always happens even now. Every year people move out of New York City for peaceful lifestyles in other suburbs.
Q4. Describe solutions to the problem that have been tried and that failed. Why did they fail?
Ans. People moved out of citied to get a better quality of life, more open space, less congested, and increasing spare time. Colorado long time residents didn’t like newcomers and often sported bumper stickers like, “Don’t Californicate Colorado”. Even their open mokery to these people migrating into Colorado didn’t stop. The newcomers saw Colorado Spring as an opportunity land.
Q5. Invent your own solution to the problem.
Ans. People moved to smaller, less in-the-spotlight towns, to get peaceful atmosphere. If the high-officials governing the big cities could make them a but less of a hustle bustle/ calm, maybe people would think of moving out and would rather stay in the cities.
