Probleemi defineerimine Iga poliitiline probleem, mis on päevakorda jõudnud, vajab määratlust tema ulatusest ja sellest, kas seda on üldse võimalik lahendada (on probleeme, mida ei annagi lahendada- tööpuudus). Parlamendi/valitsuse ülesandeks on määratleda, mida riik põhimõtteliselt saab ette võtta ja kui suurt hulka inimesi see mõjutab ning kui ulatuslikuks ja tugevaks see mõju võib osutuda. Brian W. Hogwood on oma 1987. aastal ilmunud raamatus „From Crisis to Complacency?“ toonud välja erinevate poliitiliste vaidlusküsimuste tüübid. Need iseloomustavad väga hästi poliitilisel maastikul võimalikke läbirääkimisi ja tulemusi osalejatele, seega on väga kasulik juba enne probleemi eesmärkide püstitamist need enda jaoks selgeks teha.

If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud." "That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine." "Pride," observed Mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity of her reflections, "is a very common failing, I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed; that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain.

It stated that the battleships appeared not to be protected by torpedo nets. Genda had conceived the plan of shallow-water torpedo attack on the anchored American ships. A little more than an hour after the hands of Honolulu clocks had snipped off December 6 and opened out into the first hours of December 7, the Pearl Harbor strike force received Tokyo's relay of Yoshikawa's final message. The American ships were still in harbor, awaiting the ax stroke with fat complacency. They were apparently not even protected by air search. Was it all a decoy? The strike force's radio officer, Commander Kanjiro Ono, listened intently to Honolulu's radio station KGMB for any inkling that the Americans knew of them. He heard only the soft melodies of the islands. On Hiryu, the flight deck officer slipped bits of paper between each plane's radio transmitter key and its contact point to make sure that radio silence, so carefully preserved for almost two
