Guiding Questions.  Why are things the way they are?

 

Consider issues such as: Human Rights, Economics, Politics, Science, Resource Management, Women's Rights, Transportation, Technology, Agriculture, Military Tactics and Strategy, Naval Power, Energy Use, Healthcare, Entertainment, Recreation, Leisure Time, Geography, Ideas, Art, etc.

 

Ask yourself why the current situations exist and be prepared to trace the causes from the effects.
