Health is an enabling capacity and health professionals positively impact society by de-veloping potential to reach desired goals, improving health status, and by helping to resolve pre-ventable problems (Thacker et al., 2006). New knowledge is essential in creating a positive soci-etal impact. As suggested by McDonough and Braungart (2010; 2013), learning new knowledge has become more difficult. They explain this learning difficulty using an underground water re-plenishment analogy. Both underground water replenishment and learning take time and require the right conditions. They then describe how modern society has replaced the natural terrain with concrete and that this created a societal design that causes water to move faster than natural.
