Promote the problem or promote the solution?

Corinna WestMember

I was struck by the difference in these two books on Community Resilience:

The ACES book focuses almost entirely on promoting the problem, with only a token nod to building resilience solutions: http://communityresiliencecookbook.org/

The UK Resilience book focuses almost entirely on how to build resilience in the community, with not much discussion at all about WHY this is important to do: https://www.mind.org.uk/media/...ient_communities.pdf

Why should we promote a problem without promoting a solution? And if we promote the solutions, how do we motivate people to care?

But most importantly, why would these two books each be so blind to the other side of the coin? And if you had to choose one, why not choose solution promotion over problem promotion?
