...Risk Assessment Matrix (High-Medium-Low) The following Matrix can be used to help determine the risk ranking of a finding and its associated recommendations. Classification of high, medium or low usually occurs because of a combination of factors. The problem noted and or failure to implement a recommended solution could have the following impact: High Medium Low Potential significant life/ safety threat. Remote life or safety threat. No life or safety threat. Potential exposure of large volume PII or other confidential data. Potential exposure of any amount of confidential data. No confidential data. Impact on financial statements is material (PWC SAS-112 financial risk is rated high). Reportable financial statement impact. (PWC or SAS 112 medium risk ranking). No financial statement impact. (PWC or SAS 112 low risk ranking). Potential campus wide impact: 1. Major administrative computing system internal control weakness. 2. Potential for mission critical process or system failure or breach. (e.g.: inability to timely register students or pay employees). Departmental or unit only impact. Small subsection of people or transactions affected. Large dollar amounts or highly liquid assets at risk (cash). Medium dollar amount at risk or assets not liquid or convertible to cash. Low dollar amount at risk. Lack of major control step. Significant control weakness creates potential for fraud. Other compensating controls exist. Several other compensating controls. This...

...| Plato, Descartes, and the Matrix After obtaining knowledge from the Matrix, Plato's Allegory of the Cave or The Republic and the first Mediation from Descartes, I see that there are a few likenesses and contrasts. I would need to say that The Matrix and Plato's hole purposeful tale were more comparable because the individuals included in both stories, they existed in this present reality where they were being cheated about what the fact of the matter was. In the Matrix, once Neo saw this present reality and that all that he thought was true was really a hallucination, is very much alike to the shadows on the dividers of the surrender that the prisoners saw in Plato's Allegory of the hole. In both stories, both characters could encounter reality as well as the phony world and was given opportunity to see reality and were confounded. Nonetheless, the detainee in Plato's story in the wake of picking up this new information let others in servitude know of his recently discovered learning however felt that the first truth was less demanding to with the exception to. Then again Neo in The Matrix chose he needed to realize what the right truth was. Both characters were intrigued by figure out reality however they recognized reality in an unexpected way. Plato thought it was fundamental for the affixed man in the Allegory of the Cave required to escape from the hole to look for reality. Socrates portrays a gathering of individuals who have lived anchored to the divider of a buckle...

...UNIVERSITY PRESS i ii MODULE SUMMARY During the last two decades, there has been a dramatic change in the business environment. The trend towards complexity has increased the risk associated with business decisions, making it more important to have a sound information base. To do well in such an environment, one will need to understand how to identify quality information and recognize the solid, reliable research on which one‟s high-risk decisions as a manager can be based. One also needs to know how to analyze the research findings. The study of quantitative techniques provides one with the knowledge and skills needed to solve the problems and the challenges of a fast-paced decisionmaking environment. Managers make decisions on a day to day basis and it is necessary for them to be able to analyze the data so as to be able to make optimal decisions. This module has ten lesson which cover matrix algebra, markov analysis, Linear programming, differentiation, applications of differentiation to cost, revenue and profit functions, integral calculus, inventory models, sampling and estimation theory, hypothesis testing and chi-square tests. iii MODULE OBJECTIVES By the end of the course, the student should be able to:- 1.

...Realities Two-Way Street Ignorance is bliss. This phrase, however comforting, is a provocative statement to the debilitating state of society and the human state of mind; the dual-edged comment is represented in both Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and the Wachoski brother’s The Matrix through universes, similar to our own, where people are in strong states of illusion and ignorance. Both have a character, which is brought to the “light” to realize this false reality and to liberate everyone else to a better reality, the “real” reality. Situations can arise where having knowledge of it can seem detrimental, however, our very existence as human beings is to live a life of bettering ourselves and the species in general through knowledge both good and bad, and the actions that take place from knowledge. People do actions and make decisions based on history from what he has done wrong or from what he has done correctly and on this basis it is a stepping stone that either good or bad having knowledge of the past, complete knowledge, helps to mold the future positively. Although blissful, avoiding reality will never be a positive action with even in modern days something such as Facebook has become our matrix keeping people away from the outside, not personally and physically interacting with others or now having games that are virtually realities allowing someone to be something else but does not benefit the world in any way. The lack of benefit world is where virtual reality does its...

...* 1 Lesson: Linear Models and the Distributive Property Write an Expression Using the Distributive Property over Multiplication Some expressions representing real-world situations can be easily written in the form [[ a bx+c ]]. When solving problems with expressions written in this form, you will use the distributive property over multiplication. Example: You and your friend are selling raffle tickets for the local rotary club. Tickets are sold for $2 each. Your friend has already sold 100 tickets, and you are going to sell the remaining tickets. Write an expression for the total amount made from raffle ticket sales. In this problem, you are comparing two quantities: the number of tickets that you sell and the total amount of money made from ticket sales. In the first row of the table, write the column headings to describe the two quantities. The number of tickets that you sell is measured in tickets and the total amount of money made from ticket sales is measured in dollars. In the second row of the table, write the units used to measure each quantity. The problem states that the tickets are sold for $2 each and your friend has already sold 100 tickets. Use a variable, such as [[x ]], to represent the number of tickets that you sell. You can determine the total amount of money made from ticket sales by multiplying the total number of tickets sold, [[100+x ]], by the cost of each ticket, 2. The expression [[ 2100+x ]] represents the total amount of money made from ticket...

...Essay PHIL 201 July 7, 2014 Essay After reading these pieces I concluded that the central theme is being awaken from a false reality but each piece differs in the action that follow the awakening. The Matrix is set in a futuristic setting, where the theory of being controlled by a massive computer is a real possibility. What I find most interesting is that Plato actually describes the concept of The Matrix, almost as if Plato’s dialogue was used an inspiration. In The Matrix and Plato’s dialogue, humans are not physically living the life they perceive as “real” but are stationary beings who are forced to live a false reality prescribe to them. This is where René Descartes’ excerpt differs from the previously mentioned. The person is aware of possibility that what he knows as true could be false, that how could we know if what we are living is done consciously or if our existence is but a dream. All of the excerpts also rely on the reasoning that the mind is the sole contributor of our existence and our physical senses only respond to what the mind knows. The differences in the readings is based on the actions or possible outcomes that occur once the awakening has taken place. In The Matrix, Neo decides to act and decides to embark on a journey to discover reality not being controlled by a computer. Plato’s dialogue is different because this is based on a hypothetically theory, so while there is no physically action the questions lies in how would people respond to...

...The Tools of Cooperation and Change Clayton M. Christensen, Matt Marx and Howard Stevenson Harvard Business Review October 2006 Introduction Christensen, Marx and Stevenson outline how a manager might use various methods to encourage people to work together towards successful change. The ability to get results and to be a successful change agent depends on the manager’s ability to select the proper motivation/change tools that will work within the situation and work environment they are facing. Assessing the Existing Level of Change The first step in selecting the proper tools to implement change is to assess the level of agreement in the organization based on two dimensions. Those dimensions being: • The extent to which people agree on what they want; the results they see from participation; values and priorities and trade-offs they are willing to make to achieve those goals. • The extent to which people agree on cause and effect; which actions will lead to the desired outcomes. When people have a shared understanding of cause and effect, they will usually agree about which processes to adopt. Four Types of Cooperation Tools These are the tools a manager can use to help implement change within the organization. It is vital to use the proper tools in the correct situation, otherwise there can be even more damage. The four types of tools are: • Power tools – ex. Force, coercion, threats • Management tools – ex. Training, operating systems, measurement systems ...

...Week 5 Essay After reading the three readings, I can see some similarity and differences between the readings from the philosophers. Comparing the Matrix and Plato’s, the similarity is they both agree that the life we are experiencing is not as real as what it appears to be. It is simply an illusion and a life that we can question and doubt about. From Matrix’s story this happens when Neo ‘the hacker’ had a dream that made him think about the reality and the thought that there is something more to life. When Morpheus came and told him “that the world is an illusion, an elaborate system of deception perpetrated to keep people contentedly under control” (Wachowski & Wachowski, 1999). Neo then choose to eat the pill and see the truth that the human race is only relying on a machine to keep their bodies alive. Human beings are actually unconscious, therefore they are controlled by the machine. Because of this, what we see or do today happens because we are programmed into a computer simulation called Matrix. From Plato’s allegory, we see it when Socrates described men’s nature being as prisoners since childhood; being chained inside a cavern not being able to move their heads, but only looking. When one of the prisoners was released and was given the opportunity to see the light; and guided with what was going on. The human being that has seen the light will think what “he had seen before was all a cheat and an illusion. He will then want to turn toward real things”...

...As Patricia Pisters (2003) asserts in her study of Deleuze and film theory The Matrix of Visual Culture, the Wachowski brothers’ film can be read from number of different theoretical perspectives. It invites readings via Lacanian psychoanalysis, Platonic notions of the cave and the disparity between the two strata of perception and also as a “New Age” (Pisters, 2003: 11) quasi-religious evocation of the second coming. However, here I would like to place the film’s visual sense and diegesis into a context of postmodern philosophy; drawing inferences and theoretical connections between the film and the work of Jean Baudrillard, Walter Benjamin and the neo-Marxists of the Frankfurt School, most notably Adorno and Horkheimer in Dialectic of Enlightenment (1979). The importance of postmodern philosophy and cyber culture to the visual sense of The Matrix is declared from its very opening titles. Random strings of green neon data are scrolled against a black background imbuing the viewer with a sense of the virtual and the cybernetic and this is concretised and given definite focus later on as Neo (Keanu Reeves) hides the two thousand dollars given to him by Anthony in a copy of Simulacra and Simulation by Baudrillard. This reference however is more than a mere visual joke it is a signifier for a number of the film’s sub-textual tropes and motifs. For Baudrillard, the notion of the simulacra was central to an understanding of the modern capitalist society. In his essay “The Precession...

...Motivations in Advertising Assignment Tommy Jordan PSY/211 July 13, 2015 Ivan Harrell Motivations in Advertising Assignment The commercial that will be used in the evaluation of motivations in advertising is the General Electric (GE) Brilliant Machines Commercial that included Agent Smith from the movie, The Matrix (Framestore Studio, 2013). The commercial’s premise was a creative take on a top Hollywood blockbuster science fiction movie franchise, namely the aforementioned movie, The Matrix (Framestore Studio, 2013). In the commercial, Hugo Weaving, the actor who played the Agent Smith character in all the Matrix movies, is in a hospital highlighting all of the innovative technology that GE is providing to hospitals that help improve medical care through service, equipment, and communication. The commercial’s focus is to show how GE’s software and hardware technology assist healthcare providers to connect patience with doctors and nurses, and machines like magnetic resonance imaging or MRI Scanners. The commercial basically states that using GE’s technology properly will help to streamline processes and reducing waiting times. Agent Smith actually states that by implementing this technology hospitals can turn the waiting room into just another room (Framestore Studio, 2013). In my opinion, this commerical motivates through an incentive based theory and actually mixes the two motivations of intrinsic and extrinsic incentives. The commerical basically plays on the...
