Fishbone and 5 whys 魚骨圖及五問分析法

When faced with difficulties and problems, people naturally reach for seemingly “direct” and “obvious” solutions. This can be seen in policy decisions across all areas, and in the decisions we make in everyday situations. Oftentimes, such brash action only deals with the surface-level phenomenon and does little to truly address real problems, causing the problems to be lingering issues that are never truly solved.

當遇到困難和問題時，人們會自然地尋求看似「直接」和「顯而易見」的解決方案。 大至政策定奪，小至日常生活中的選擇，這樣的例子比比皆是。 大多時候，這種草率的做法只治標不治本。沒有從根本去解決問題，只會導致問題變得揮之不去。

In order to truly break down problems and attempt to find root causes, methods of analysis such as the Ishikawa (fishbone) diagram and 5 Why analysis can be useful tools.

Approaching problems in this fashion is time-consuming and may not come naturally, and so we practiced using these methods of thinking and analysis in our mission of helping alleviate the problem of homeless animals.

這兩種解決問題的方式有點費時，且不易自然而然地學會並活用。因此當我們在探討如何緩解流浪動物所造成的社會問題時，也都不斷地練習這兩種思考和分析的方式。
