ISSUES
A problem is a situation that has a clear answer that can be solved and what we regard as unacceptable.
 Also this is when you uncover a potential issue, and you don’t know how to fix it.
Problems can be expressed as a question, the form most effective in expressing any sort of problems is “How can?” There will be disagreements about which problem is best fit. 

PROBLEM CONT…
Honestly there is no disagreement that we the people are in any position to make those kinds of decisions.

If all of us actually takes the time and deliberate and take into consideration of all the questions being asked, then we can all come up with a much better solution to resolve any problems.

“Should?”
