Objective finding is one stage in problem solving method according to Osborne. The six steps as outlined by Parnes (1977) are objective finding, fact finding, problem finding, idea finding, solution finding, and acceptance finding (Reynolds,C.R., Vannest,K.J., Fletcher-Janzen,E., 2018). Creative problem solving is an effort to find a solution from every problems based on creative thinking techniques. Each person basically has potential to think creatively. Minority realizes that potential for then to be developed and utilized and most others not necessarily doing the same thing.

To solve problems effectively you should be focused to the goal and targeted outcome. As Isaksen, S. and Treffiger, D. (1085)  Suggest that we focus on outcomes – our objectives or goals that we hope to reach, think we need or want, opportunities we would like to exploit -and obstacle- things, people or events which stand in the way of obtaining some desired outcome (Hicks, M.J., 2004 : 74). If you find an issue that needs to be solved, you will need to start thinking about what would you get by solving that issue. Of course, it’s a better condition with a better outcome. For example that you will want a solution with better outcome for littering problem that piles up a hill of trash everyday.

Household plastic waste are factually will get worse as day passes. Facing this condition, therefore in objective finding stage you will need to determine : What would you want ? to determine what would you want to do with those plastic waste, then a wish list needs to be made to solve the problem. The upcoming question can then be answered, and one of the answer is to do a routine garbage disposal and cannot be avoided instantaneously. This condition could lead to musing, what are your deficiency and weaknesses when facing it, so that you could get the best outcome. When we decide what we want to be when we go up, we really must recognize our total weakness and inabilities and reach up (Hayes and Kenney, 2002 : 136).

After proposing what you wanted and how it is, then there should be a wise point, by proposing questions what should be done ? From here you will get the answer that you will need to do it with parties that could be involved, creating ideas that probably never been thought by anyone before, and determining which you want to be done better. I will have to bring them up to speed, figure out who need to involved, and then work through their differing oppinions of what needs to be done (Axelrod, R.H., Axelrod, E.M.,  Beedon, J. and Robert W Jacob. R.W., 2009 : xvi). From here you will get an idea on things to do to transform those plastic waste into a worthwile and valuable product.

After ideas has obtained objectively that garbage could be converted into something valuable, then you can start arranging what could be expected from this case. This expectation could be well materialized because of creative ideas presence. Where every creative ideas of course will give benefits to every parties without giving disadvantages to other parties. Arrange expectations as far as you can reach to give virtues in today and upcoming days. We hope in so far as we can see into the sphere of future possibilities (Moltmann, J., 2012 : 3). Expectations on results to eliminate waste piling issue and what outcome can be obtained for yourself and the others.
