Gillian noticed her bicycle making a new sound as she rides it in the neighborhood. She doesn't know much about bicycles, but she believes she can use general problem-solving strategies to approach the problem. What step should she take first in her general problem-solving approach?

ANSWER: IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM

EXPLANATION:

The first step Gillian should consider in exploration of her general problem-solving approach is the PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION.

However, since she doesn't have much knowledge about bicycle, identifying the source of the problem (i.e. tracing the source/cause of the new sound produced by her bicycle), will provide a template or background for her further problem solving procedures.

    racial conflict and discrimination has existed ever since man learned to kill with rocks and bones. these conflicts arose from disputes between territory, power, wealth, religion, or simple difference. some of the most infamous racial disputes include slavery, the holocaust, and the civil rights movement.

    these listed disputes often resulted in casualties from all sides. riots, wars, imprisonment, and lynching are all commonly associated with racial conflict on severe levels.

      however, racism is an improving issue in recent decades. people are being more accepting and welcoming of diverse populations. though, the world isn't perfect and it will take much more time, if ever, until the world is rid of racism.
