Question

Applying Force Field Analysis

You should now be able to apply the force field technique to a real health and safety issue that you know needs improvement. Follow the force field steps described above:

Identify the forces for and against.

Assess the strength and priority of the forces.

Decide how to strengthen and weaken the forces and say what you intend to do.

Answer 1

Kurt Lewin, the propounder of this force-field-analysis. According to him, there should be a balance between opposing and forcing elements of an issue to sustain the balance. Let's take real health and safety issue of Covid-19. Force Field Analysis for COVID-19, those how are seeking to promote are covid carrier not maintaining social distance, neither self-quarantine and other doables. On the contrary, covid carriers working against COVID-19 are the forces of field which are maintaining the social distance, proper quarantine, medication etc in order to maintain the state of equilibrium. For layman, it can be easily understand on the basis of game "tug of war".

To draw Strengths, we will draw driving and restraining forces on a plane paper. And write the forces on the basis of internal and external forces of an individual. Priority of the forces, is required so as to priortize forces which can be strengthened. For instance, plasma therapy in case of covid, usage to better capital in forming quarantine centers, training doctors etc. And trying to establish an ideal state where forces which can weaken the force are also working. Such as, increase in number of cases, less number of quarantine centers etc.

I intend to do Analyze information for and against the covid and try to strengthen the doables against all odds to maintain a state of equilibrium. And raise the forces in order to cut down the restraining environment.
