Cách Brainstorm Cho Các Cause - Effect - Solution 

 Brainstorm tìm cause: Tìm ý tưởng dựa trên các hoạt động trong đời sống, thói quen sinh hoạt, tập
quán của con người, vì đó chính là nguồn gốc gây ra hầu hết các vấn đề của xã hội.
 Brainstorm tìm effect: Thường khi một chuyện trở thành 'vấn đề' hoặc là 'tạo thuận lợi', tức là nó sẽ
đem lại tác động tiêu cực/ tích cực đến 3 đối tượng là Cá nhân, Xã hội hoặc Chính phủ. Tương ứng với mỗi
đối tượng sẽ có các khía cạnh bị ảnh hưởng. Khi brainstorm thì nghĩ hết từng ô, từng mục, nhưng sau đó chọn
lọc những ý quan trọng để viết thôi, vì tuỳ theo vấn đề mà các đối tượng/ khía cạnh bị tác động nhiều ít khác
nhau và ta nên chọn cái nào mà nó nhiều ý nhất để viết.  

Brainstorm tìm solution: Tương tự như vậy, mỗi đối tượng sẽ có thể thực hiện những giải pháp khác nhau ở
những quy mô khác nhau. không nhất thiết phải đề cập hết tất cả giải pháp từ tất cả các đối tượng, chỉ chọn
những giải pháp nào quan trọng nhất thôi.
