Avoid the negativity of the word problem with the word situation. As in: there is not a problem to be solved so much as there is a situation that needs to be dealt with.
No. Situation is not necessarily an issue. An issue, is a problem. A Situation is to be in something.
When you assess the situation, you review the problem and look over possible outcomes for the situation.
You call that "conflict."
A contextual situation refers to the specific circumstances or environment in which something occurs or is considered. It involves understanding the surrounding factors or conditions that influence the interpretation or significance of a particular event, idea, or statement.
The word situation is a noun. A situation is a problem or circumstances that pose a problem.
Focusing on a problem's symptoms can lead to analyzing the situation.
Hunger (power/disire/want) is the best pickle (problem/situation). ::Hunger for power or disires is the best way to get you into a problem/situation/"pickle".
It means having the situation under control."Handle on the situation" is an idiom which is used when observing that someone is resolving the problem.
No, problem is a noun; a singular, common, abstract noun, a word for a situation, a thing.
