This morning while trying to study, my mind was preoccupied wtih the idea of solving human problems by addressing the general to the specific.  I was thinking about this because my dad and I were talking about addressing problems with dog behavior yesterday.  We talked about how Cesar Milan describes dog owners as attributing dog behavior problems to individual personality first, breed second, and species third.  This again lead me to a connection in treating human behavior.  We should address problems at the human level first, the cultural(?) level second, and the personal level third.
