Completion requirements

Think about double-loop learning situations. These are typically big "aha" moments when you realize that your previous assumptions about a problem or situation were not (fully) correct and you need to change them.

The first task is to think about your own experience when you have realized that your assumptions about something (what is important, what works, what is good) were wrong.
Write one page about it (250-350 world) and make sure that your text it is clear in:

•What were your initial assumptions?
•What were your new assumptions?
•What happened that helped you to update your assumptions?

The second task is to think about any policy or public service case that you know, from anywhere around the world that in your opinion should be changed/improved. It may be something small, like how some service is provided at the municipal level, or some public policy area at the national scale. 

Write one page (250-350 words) about this case and make sure that from your text it is obvious:

•What wrong assumptions are making the policy/service problematic?
•What are better assumptions that, when adopted, may improve the system/service/situation?
•What can help relevant people in charge of the policy/service to change their assumptions?
