Part A: Identify two (2) ‘Tame Problems’ and two (2) ‘Wicked Problems’facing society today. Please refer to pages 64-66 of your textbook for a definition of a tame and wicked problem. Write 400 words describing each problem and explain why you have classified under that heading (tame vs wicked).

• Label it ‘tame’ or ‘wicked’ (please justify) and then note key misconceptions or mistruths in relation to the problem


• Discuss ethical responsibility to solve


• Impacts on the economy, policy and society (Consider Figure 5.4 of the textbook).


• Provide an example: Identify one campaign dedicated to solve the problem and briefly consider its impact (you will go into more detail in Assessment 2 Part B, so please keep it brief).


• Use references

Further, this assessment will require students to act upon feedback provided by the marker. Feedback will be provided in a timely manner and should inform Part B and Part C of the assessment. It is therefore recommended that you review Part B and Part C of this assignment before commencing Part A.
