Toward the end of the film Apollo 13, one of the characters calls what happened to the mission a “successful failure.” What does that mean to you? If you selected a different movie, describe one of the successful failures in that film’s storyline. Do you have any examples of “successful failures” in your own experiences?
After answering this question, post at least one question of your own, focusing on other issues discussed in Chapter 3 that you also see as part of the film.
The movies in Unit III depict many great examples of problem solving. Discuss the major problem in the movie you selected, and how that problem was (or could have been) broken down into smaller, more solvable problems.
For the second half of your essay, choose a smaller problem you are facing now, and describe how you would use Chaffes five steps of problem solving to find a solution.

Your essay should be no less than two full pages in length. If you use outside sources, please cite and reference them according to APA standards.
