Wicked Problems

A problem that is difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements that are often difficult to recognize, and because of complex interdependencies, the effort to solve one aspect of a wicked problem may reveal or create other problems. In other words, a problem whose social complexity means that it has no determinable stopping point.
