Answer to Question 1

According to recent statistics, about 36 of females exhibit symptoms of depression. Those symptoms include feelings of sadness or unhappiness, feelings of worthlessness and lack of control over one's life, crying spells, moodiness, social isolation, and suicidal thoughts, threats, and attempts. Students who are severely depressed are at risk of committing suicide.

Answer to Question 2

Examples should be consistent with the following definitions.
a.A well-structured problem is clearly stated, the solution is known, and the evaluation standards are clear. Most problems in mathematics and the natural sciences are of this type.
b. An ill-structured problem is vaguely stated, has unclear solution strategies, and has vague evaluation standards. Most problems in the social sciences (e.g., How can we eliminate chronic unemployment? Should the federal government provide subsidies to farmers of certain crops?) are ill-structured.
c. An issue is an ill-structured problem that arouses strong feelings and tends to divide people into opposing camps (e.g., Do people have a constitutional right to carry concealed weapons in public?).
