Why is Situation a Situation? What makes a situation, a situation? Does
it qualify to become a situation?
A situation is a situation
because a situation involves a problem and a problem of day to day life. If
there is no problem, it won’t quality to be a situation. You can’t stay neutral.
Some behaviour on your part is necessary. You can’t refuse. You can’t afford to
stay away from the situation. Either ‘action’ or ‘reaction’ has to come out.
You can’t solve a problem on the
same level on which it has been created. You have to go above and over the
situation to bail out it and solve it. Understanding of a solution is more
important rather than offering a solution. Situation Reaction Test (SRT) does not mean the mere description
of a situation.
Understanding the situation and
drawing solutions, both are equally important.

situation. A situation is a situation because it has a problem.There are three ways to solve any situation.
