Human 's Problems And Issues

There are always multiple ways to solve problems to one specific question, or there can never be an answer at all. The process of solving problems is not always as straightforward as it seems when there are no definite answers. “Wicked” problems are not easily solvable, causing the process of solving them to be long and experimental. Many “wicked problems have multiple solutions or none at all, however a solution can be found by using design thinking, an approach to help discover innovative ways to resolve a business's challenges.

The fact that technology is evolving every second means that the way we design, create and even advertise it is changed. Designer can go a long way, in many different directions. Even though the innovations introduced have a major positive impact, they do have a negative one as well.

According to Joyce A. Little, the major moral problem that human’s face is that when people attempt to agree upon attacking evil, their different opinions separate their views on identifying exactly what should be right? Little expresses the problem as "we cannot agree on what would be right or good for society...by people whose fundamental views of reality are radically opposed to the Church 's" (23).

What is the Human Condition? The Human Condition are characteristics in life in which one will experience at one moment or more in their life. The real question is, however, do you experience the Human Condition even if you’re not conscious of it? In order to be considered “human”, one must experience one of the characteristics of life. Conversely, there is Nihilism. Nihilism is the rejection of all religious and moral principles, believing that life is meaningless. The idea of Nihilism goes against what the Human Condition stands for. Even without being conscious of it, people go through at least one if not all characteristics of the Human Condition.

But in contemporary society, there is no single definition that covers design completely, or even fields of professional practice as graphic or industrial design that adequetly cover the diversity of ideas and practices as once existed.

The core concept behind ‘Design Thinking’ revolves around attaining a goal rather than simply fixing a problem at hand. Since focusing on an objective already helps address any unmet needs, goal-oriented solutions lay the groundwork for other improvements including future ‘Design Thinking’ solutions. As such, solutions of this nature need to be socially fluid, tangible in nature, and broadminded in approach.

Flaws in Human Nature: A Study on the Satire of Humanity in Orwell The novels Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm by George Orwell provide intriguing commentaries on humanity that are still applicable even today. Nineteen Eighty-Four unfolds in the year the book is named after in Oceania, the totalitarian new world superpower presumably post-World War II. The book’s protagonist, Winston Smith, works in the records department of the Ministry of Truth, altering records of the past to fit with the ruling Party’s current rhetoric. The story follows his desire for rebellion though a passionate love affair with co-worker Julia and his subsequent arrest, torture and conversion to the Party’s principles.

This is the first case study report for the course ED5317: Strategies for Managing Innovation that is based on the Harvard Business School case titled ‘Design Thinking and Innovation at Apple’. The report consists of the following question:

I found that this picture is a good representation to describe the Human Condition because it shows many things related to anthropology, sociology, and psychology. This image shows a boy by himself while 3 other kids are making fun of him. Bullying is a major topic that relates to the Human Condition. This issue affects peoples minds, behaviour, attitude, and emotions in a harsh, negative way. Almost everyone in the world go through some sort of bullying whether it cyber, physical, social or verbal. In this picture, the small boy is the victim meanwhile the 3 other kids are the bullies.

One of the funny things about human nature is that no matter where we live, what our cultural backgrounds are, or how we were raised, citizens in every country of the world tend to share the same overall "tastes". This can be seen particularly in what some might label as "vices"; those activities which could lead us into trouble if we were to not monitor them carefully. Drinking, smoking, and entertainment are some things that human cultures throughout history have engaged in in one form or another.

The flaws of human nature are many, but one of the biggest is the gullibility, especially in the presence of the supernatural. It is often easy to think that the thoughts or actions of an individual are of their own doing. It is even easier to assume that the range of the mind falls between good and evil. But society is not quite clear and even in fiction, there is always something motivating an action that lingers in the back of the mind of any character. The supernatural in particular is known for its ability to push people to extremes and alter their perception drastically. In Shakespeare’s Macbeth, it is easy to assume the blind ambition that brews within Macbeth and his wife or the guilt that plagues them following their actions is the biggest motivator. But that is just the surface of the complexity interlaced into this tragedy. Dig further, and it becomes clear that these emotions were not always prevalent in the characters, but were instead prompted by a force so powerful, it toyed with fate and provoked deception until the end; it was the supernatural that fueled the emotions and actions that take up much of the play.

The Human Condition can be argued to be in a crisis with its position in modern society.

thinking as it encourages design to focus empathetically on the end user rather than as an afterthought.

Empathy is a significant characteristic of a design thinker and leads to ultimate success in the business environment. Empathy allows an entrepreneur such as Steve Jobs to gain an understanding of the human experience and develop Apple products that adhere to the desirability of customers. This human centred methodology and culture of innovation allows a design thinker to examine and understand perspectives of others both imaginatively and affectively. By utilising empathy in design thinking Steve Jobs was able to develop and build Apple’s future products in an innovative and successful manner as to emerge from any previous product failure or impediment.
