Writing a problem solving essay can be a very useful and even rewarding experience. Do you know why? Because you have a chance to draw attention of the reader to problems that really worry you and you would like to do something about them.
 
If you have never written essays on problems and solutions before, you definitely need several starting points. An analysis of problem solving essay samples can be a good start, but we presume you will still need detailed explanations. This is what you will find below.
 
Problem solving essays: choose a problem
 
As you can guess, a certain problem will serve as a topic idea for your essay. In order to prepare an effective problem solving essay, you should come up with an issue that:

• you do care and feel passionate about;
• you are quite familiar with, have your opinion about.

Problem solving essays: narrow down the focus
 
Are you concerned with such problems as global warming, world peace, world hunger? This is great, but actually, these problems will not suit your problem solving essay. The thing is that such issues are too broad, huge dissertation projects can be devoted to them, and people, in fact, cannot come up with effective solutions to these problems.
 
Therefore, do not write something like an essay on world peace. Instead, for your problem solving essay, choose a problem that is acute at your local level, e.g. too high prices in local supermarkets, what can be done about that.
 
Problem solving essays: offer solutions

It is a well-known fact that human brain is the most unexplored organ. Many scientists suggest that people use their brain at no more than 10%. There are so many incomprehensible and unpredictable phenomena connected with brain activity, and people have no explanations for those phenomena. And it is not even confined to reading somebody’s thoughts or lifting objects, there are much slighter examples of unexplained brain activities.
 
For example, each of you at least once had a feeling of déjà vu; it is when you feel as if you had seen, heard, felt, smelled, experienced something. Do you expect that scientist, psychologists or, at least, psychiatrists have found out what it is? Well, there is still no distinct explanation. People still are not sure whether it is a kind of pathology or some natural phenomenon, like sleep, for instance. What is it anyway?

What Is Déjà Vu?

Term Origin.
 
As you might know, this term is a French one, and it means “already seen”. Émile Boirac, a French philosopher, is believed to introduce this term.
 
First Researches.
 
Of course, this phenomenon existed very long ago, though researchers started considering it only in the 19th century. Scientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, even mediums tried to define what it is and how it is happening. For example, Sigmund Freud also paid much attention to déjà vu, considering it as a kind of psychopathology, like schizophrenia.
 
Different Definitions.
 
The number of definitions and theories about déjà vu is approximately the same as explanations about Mona Lisa’s smile. Though, recently (in 1980s) Vernon Neppe MD, PhD, the famous neuropsychiatrist, suggested the following definition which became a standard one: “any subjectively inappropriate impression of familiarity of a present experience with an undefined past”.
 
Different Explanations.
 
This part is very interesting. Since nothing is known for sure about human brain, on the whole, and déjà vu phenomenon, in particular, hundreds of versions exist.
 
For example, the most accepted theory is based on the short-term and long-term memory correlation. In few words: scientists suggest that a person experiences something (sees a photo), then he/she forgets about the experience and the circumstance under which he/she saw this photo, after some time when the person sees the photo again he/she does not recognize it but has a specific feeling: déjà vu.
 
There are also very interesting theories. For instance, some scientists suggest that déjà vu phenomenon can be easily explained by the peculiarities of human sight. Thus, they claim that one eye perceives and sends the information to the brain faster than the other one; that is why when the other (slower) eye sees the same object or situation the feeling of déjà vu emerges. Hmm. Then what about smells or other déjà vu “provokers”? Are human nostrils, hands, ears different in perception as well? Of course not! But still the theory exists.
 
Spiritual Explanation.
 
Apart from scientific approach to the problem, there is also a spiritual one. All religions always find some explanations to everything even very doubtful and provocative. For example, Christianity did beat Darwin’s arguments, claiming that dinosaurs were not the creation of evolution, but creation of God, who destroyed them as out of favor. Thus, religious people say that déjà vu is a fragment memory from one’s previous life. Though, this approach is even more obscure than with two different eyes, since the life after death is also “sub-investigated”.
