...Areas Design Thinking Report Task 1 – “What Is?” 29/4/2016 ENT60005 Creativity and Innovation Assignment 2: Creative Problem Solving Assignment Group Members: 9231315 Ivonne Milano 101088515 Jeffrey Vanderveen 101123348 Raja Sekhar Ravi 100856384 Isaac Husain Aditya Vaggani 1 Executive Summary Visitors, particularly international travellers to regional Victoria are often unaware of and are illprepared for the fire hazards posed by the dry Australian country side. Early warning and response are critical in improving the chance of escape and survival from a bushfire event. Previous bushfire events including the recent fires in the Cape Otways, Great Ocean Road, Victoria (December 2015/January 2016) caused widespread devastation and impaired access into and out of the main towns. Many visitors to these areas were caught in the event and were unsure as how best to respond and what action to take. This report presents the findings from the investigation into the observed problem of the lack of awareness of bushfire hazards and risks amongst visitors of regional Victoria. The report describes how the Group has come to a better understanding of the problem through the use of various Design Thinking and Lean UX tools and approaches. The application of the tools has identified invaluable insights into the customer’s needs which provided the Group with the confidence to better define the problem statement. The process also assisted in the identification...

...ranging from dirty meat packing plants, to young children working in the mines to fire safety. The underside of meat-packing plants is terrifying, from dead rats to unhygienic hands and germs. The jungle exposed the underside of meat-packing plants, bringing a sense of awe to people. Fire safety is a huge problem for workers, just like children working in mines and factories. The experience of workers led to a progressive movement in Industrial America. By exposing the underside of the meat-packing industry, fire safety, and child labor, regulations finally led to the implementation of worker rules. To begin, the FDA is here to check and ensure that safe meat goes into food. But in the 1900s, people ate their meats with dead dung rats, without knowing what they were consuming. The working conditions were terrifying and terrible “There would be meat that had tumbled out on the floor, in the dirt and sawdust, where the workers tramped and spat on”(Doc2). While this was happening, people were getting sick, Upton Sinclair, an undercover journalist, wrote a book called “The Jungle” exposing the...

...'The hazards presented by volcanic and seismic events have the greatest impact on the world’s poorest people'. To what extent do you agree with this view? Hazards are anything that could cause damage to humans or buildings. Many volcanic and seismic events happen that cause hazards to humans. Often the world’s poorest people are hit the worst, however wealthier countries can also be adversely affected. The Kobe earthquake in Japan 1995 struck at 5.45am. Many people were asleep in bed, causing the hazard to be increased because the people were unaware. Although many Japanese buildings were of aseismic design, the roofs of their houses were designed to withstand typhoons and so were very heavy. When the earthquake struck many people were crushed in their sleep. Also every year on 1st September Japan has national earthquake preparedness day to remember the 140000 that died in the Tokyo earthquake of 1923 but this did not help many of the citizens of Kobe. The Kobe earthquake was also in December so many people had nowhere to go in the middle of the night in winter and the risk of hyperthermia was extremely high. People were not put into temporary accommodation for up to two weeks after the event because the Japanese government originally refused assistance from foreign countries to help with the aid effort. The secondary effects of the earthquake like the gas leaks and fires killed 3000 people and many businesses were lost in the port. The Kobe earthquake shows that sometimes...

This language was born in France and it is spoken in many other places such as Quebec, Mauritius, Louisiana, and Côte d'Ivoire. France has many more things too offer than language. France has an extraordinary background, interesting physical characteristics, and a rich culture. The country of France has an extraordinary background. It is located in the continent of Europe. More specifically, it borders with Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Andorra, and Spain. With no stupefaction, the most beautiful part of France is Paris.

...ENTRY # 1 ENTRY#2 ENTRY#3 ENTRY#4 ENTRY#5 ENTRY#6 ENTRY#7 ENTRY#8 ENTRY#9 ENTRY#10 TYPES OF BUSINESS LETTER Editorial(ENTERTAINMENT): Animal welfare can no longer be overlooked 5:29 AM Saturday Nov 24, 2012 Accelerating pace of change in popular attitudes demands that film and other industries take heed of prevailing sentiment. The reaction of Sir Peter Jackson to claims by animal wranglers that animals died during shooting of the Hobbit spoke volumes of his awareness and sensitivity to the new environment. Photo / Supplied The disclaimer "no animal was harmed in the making of this film" has become a standard phrase of popular culture. So accustomed are we to seeing it among films' closing credits, and so material has it become, that it is startling to realise it is a recent innovation. Just over three decades ago, Hollywood was casually ignoring any concerns about animal cruelty in major movies such as Apocalypse Now and Heaven's Gate. In Apocalypse Now, a water buffalo was slaughtered with a machete, and Michael Cimino's flop western included chickens dying in staged cockfights. Such instances were not particularly unusual in the history of film-making. Perhaps 100 horses were, for example, killed during the making of the original Ben Hur in 1926. Customarily, this was justified on the grounds of artistic merit. But the outcry that greeted Heaven's Gate indicated this excuse would no longer suffice in a society increasingly opposed to animal maltreatment...

...winter holidays we think of snow, Santa Claus or Christmas trees with lights and decorations. We have heard of hundreds of stories that of how there have been issues with gifts malfunctioning or lights on houses catching fire and destroying complete homes. There are thousands of products that have malfunctioned or caused major damages because of the poor quality that they were made in or for unaware circumstances that the company producing the items were not aware of, even though they might have done hundreds, if not thousands, of practice test to make sure that the item was compliant with government standards and would not cause harm, damages, or injury to anyone because of the product or the malfunction of it. When products malfunction there are sometimes small injuries or damages to complete loss of life or substantial damage to a home or other establishment. The main issue that arises when it comes to this topic is that of possible lawsuits and the ability to be able to find out if it was negligence on the part of the producer of the item being sold. In order to prove negligence, a person must have had a duty of care, which means a responsibility to act in the nest interest of another (wiseGEEK, 2003). A company always has to be ready to be able to defend itself in all the possible issues that might arise and cause any form of lawsuit. The product that was recalled was the Balsam Hill Pre-lit Christmas Tree. It was recalled because of burnout and shock hazards to individuals...
