The “See, Judge, Act” Process

What is happening?
Who are the people involved?
Who gains from this situation? Who loses?
What is the situation doing to people?
Why is it happening? Why does it continue?
Judge
1. How do you feel about this situation?
2. Have you ever behaved or acted like anyone in the situation? If so, what happened?
Why? How did you and/or those involved feel?
3. What do you think should be happening?
4. What does your faith say about it?
5. What does our Vincentian Tradition say about it?
Act
1. What can we do to bridge the gap between what is happening (the reality) and what
should be happening (the ideal/what our faith says)?
2. What action are we going to take?
3. Who can we involve in our action?
