Human beings are skilled at working together to make social life better. We don’t completely solve problems, but we constantly make incremental improvements. We will study the ways in which people make our societies better. We will practice working as a team to define a problem, in order to consider practical possibilities to mitigate the problem. We will give some thought to how unintended consequences of some improvements can create new problems – leading to the next step in defining and mitigating our social problems.
