Using solutions with rapid payoffs, however, can result in more complex long term issues even if they alleviate the immediate symptoms of a systemic problem.

Is there anything missing from this crossword? What would be your missing piece? One of the assumptions in systems change that may go unaddressed is that sometimes there is no one right answer, or no answer at all. Our attempt to fix problems, solve issues, or save people may in fact perpetuate existing power hierarchies or systems instead of prompting a paradigm shift. What do you think is missing here? Or is it best to leave the crossword unsolved, as complex issues don’t always have solutions?

Who is motivated to act in what way, and how do these motivations clash with one another? Why might the system be working exactly how it is intended to despite appearing to be broken?
