    I too am an educator who unknowingly has been doing this process in the classroom everyday. It's like triage sometimes. Now that I am semi retired I am trying to apply this strategy to our local homeless issue. I will be sharing this video with our county folks attempting to address this issue. The one rule you should add in your five steps is persistence. We can never stop advocating for the most vunerable among us. Thank you and be well.

    What i am thinking about at least once a day, which is more of a dream than a plan:
    I will start my bachelor in social work this year, and i hope that after a few years of working as an social worker i could buy my parents farm (they wont farm forever because of health issues), and maybe i could start a social program there. Its a big farm with a big old house that used to be an old hotel. So maybe people in vulnerable life situations could life there for free and get a chance of getting into a better situation. We could all work together on the farm, have a huge garden and produce most of the food they need ourselves, which could help keep the cost down (because i am for sure not rich, and getting people to financially support programs like this is hard) . The farm has its own water spring too. So people could have an admittedly simple life there, but they could have a break from hunger and homelessness, maybe we could even have somebody there to help people educate themselves, maybe get better education and if they want to can move out from there and get a job somewhere else. Just like a safe space with no pressure, but with possibilities to get better. Animals are great at helping with traumas, and if the people want to work there as well, they would be able to feel like they have a purpose and helping each other out. But again, idk if this becomes is realistic one day..

      This seems like a great idea! And while their living on the farm they learn to fortify the land and learn to make a living with the natural things of earth. I love this idea, my prayers are with you!

    Program is a solution to a problem, but a good process is a way of finding solutions.

      Easy solutions, that bypass red tape, and can be implemented using what we have available. Basically reorganizing resources. Shuffling things around.. so that what is being unused is made available to use by those who can use it. At least, while it is being unused. Because there is a lot of resources
      sitting empty/being thrown away/ not being filled/ in need of care or to be occupied or used or maintained. Buildings don't like being empty... For example. People want to be given a job and a skill and a responsibility in exchange for housing, for example. Humans require purpose and AV area if focus and/or creativity. I've met a homeless man with a Masters in Theology, and a string of bad luck following a messy divorce. No one is immune to need and everyone has something to contribute. Goods and services for goods and services is how we used to do it anyway.
      One angle to approach things: simply organizing. Collecting and then matching. Facilitating the meeting and the making of mutually beneficial trades.

      -What social issues does she mention here on the video?
      The social problem that she mentions in this video is about people who live on the streets and are homeless and poverty.
      -Why is it important to ask the right questions always?
      Because if we don't ask the right questions this can condemn people on the street to faster deaths and many other things.
      -What is the difference between a “program” and a “process”?
      the program is a group of instructions to carry out a specific task, while the process is a running program.
      -What does it mean to “set a measurable goal with a scary timeline”?
      I think that this means that we must propose everything to do it as quickly as possible, that also gives us a bit of pressure and many times we do it better.
      -What is the best way to help with a social issue?
      To help with social problems we must be guided by the following steps:
      1. Focus on the Outliers.
      2. Set Measurable Goals and Scary Timelines.
      3. Do the Most Obvious Thing.
      4. Build the Broadest Team Possible.
      5. Experiment in Short Cycles.
      -Why is it important to build a wide (big) team to put up with the problem?
      When we have many people helping this can make things easier and we can have better results.
      -What is your personal take from this video?
      I really liked it, a bit confusing, but in the end the idea is well understood, I liked how it shows us in detail each step to solve social problems.

      1) Homeless people and poverty
      2) Because if you don't ask the right questions, then it will be more difficult to help those people
      3) A program is a solution to a problem and a process is a way to find proper solutions.
      4) Set a measurable goal with a scary timeline is very convinient because that way you will work hard in order to reach that goal.
      5) The best way to help with a social issue is finding obvious solutions.
      6) Because that way it will be easier to solve a problem.
      7) Is very nice to see this group people helping homeless people to get a house and have a better life.

      What social problems do you mention here in the video? Talk about the homeless and people's poverty.
      -Why is it important to always ask the right questions? It is important to know exactly what a person has and ask questions that do not offend.
      -What is the difference between a "program" and a "process"? A program that is a solution to a problem but a good process is a way to find a solution.
      -What does it mean to "set a measurable goal with a terrifying timeline"? For me it is that you must always have a goal in life even if you feel that you cannot achieve it, you must make an effort.
      -What is the best way to help with a social problem? The best way to help people is to search for the most obvious question.
      -Why is it important to form a large (large) team to tackle the problem? It is important so we have more people to help those who need it.
      -What is your personal opinion of this video? My opinion is that it is a very good video because it shows you how these homeless people live and to be able to solve it to help them.

      1-homelessness and poverty
      2-because you can get the right answers
      3-the program is a group of instructions to carry out a specific task, while the process is a running program.
      4- we must propose everything to do it as quickly as possible
      5-Find the most obvious answer.
      7-sometimes we overthink the answers
      to a problem, but the most obvious answer is usually the most effective

      @@mikewitzke8417 Actually, both of you are right. They need all 3. Many homeless need a purpose though, which means a 4th thing. Many homeless have often lost hold of their own lives and they need motivation/purpose. All 4 factors mean a whole different life for them. It's a shame that's not as commonly recognized as it should be.

      @catherinemcgee3591 3 года назад +1

      @@Brobooke I totally agree, because just giving them a shelter with clothes, shoes, and food to eat doesn't mean it will change their mindset; their have got to be more that they are lacking. They need mental counseling that can help them to understand their true purpose in life. Allowing them to trust you enough to open up to help us and them to understand how they ended up being homeless in the first place. I say all of your responses are correct.

    Societal problems are simply due to sin and iniquities. I truly believe that. Having things taken and not being made whole for it. I think the abundance of scornful women out there are a result of being betrayed by their flesh bonded husbands. Or worse. All stems from some kind of sin. This is a really great season to reconcile for our wrongs and try to do better.

      Does the reason matter? We have to care about each other in a meaningful way. There's no time to point fingers anymore. Someone else's mess? Ok, fine. So be it. But i will still volunteer to help clean it up.
