Importance of Sensitization, Restructuring, and Evaluation in Problem Finding

Problem finding involves three key elements: sensitization, restructuring, and evaluation. Sensitization requires developing awareness of issues worth exploring, being open to new experiences, and challenging existing assumptions.
