Week 8 began yesterday and is due Friday.
Be sure to read the announcement I posted about NCVPS Spirit Week!
Got missing work? Previous weeks remain open. Remember that Weeks 1-8 will close March 5 so use your time wisely if you need to complete missing work.
You will explore problem-solving during Week 8. No matter what career you chose or which life path you take, you will face problems.
Which historical figures used problem-solving well?
- Julius Caesar conquered a huge portion of Europe using his wits and the troops in his army with innovative methods.
- Alexander the Great conquered most of the known world by using problem solving techniques, including building a huge bridge to transport siege equipment across, just in order to take a small island.
- Boadicea defeated the Romans in London, despite being outnumbered, by using her knowledge of the terrain and her own problem solving skills, to her advantage.
- Gandhi looked at the problem of British occupation in India and came up with his own solution that would work given the dominance of the British: Non-violent resistance. Looking at the number of his people versus the number of the British, it was the clear solution.
- Epicurus routinely used problem solving to look at the world around him and devise solutions as to why the world is the way it is.
- Horatio Nelson's life was based on problem solving, overcoming the odds, and defeating the enemy with new and innovative methods.
