A common assumption following the completion of a project would be that the sun would rise the next day. Suppose for a moment the sun did not rise. The severity of this risk would threaten not only the completion of this project but most other projects. In other words, the risk posed by the sun not rising is extremely high; however, the likelihood of that happening is relatively small.

On the other hand, consider a different sort of risk. Consider that one of the billing system database servers has been destroyed. The likelihood of this happening is considerably higher than the likelihood of the sun not rising. Unless the database was not recently backed up, the severity of this risk is relatively low. In other words, neither of these risks rises to a level that would threaten the completion of the project.

What are the differences between qualitative and quantitative risk analysis? When is each type of analysis appropriate? What type of analysis will you use for the customer service system project?

Assignment Guidelines:

Address the following in 750–900 words:

What are the differences between qualitative and quantitative risk analysis? Explain.

When is each type of analysis appropriate? Explain.

What type of analysis will you use for the IRTC customer service system project? Why?

Use correctly APA style formatted references of solid academic quality for your resources and use correctly formatted APA style in-text citations to your references to substantiate your information and positions as well as to give credit to other author’s work.

At the end of Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” we see the murdered grandmother “in a puddle of blood with her legs crossed under like a child’s and her face smiling up at a cloudless sky.” In a well-organized and developed essay of five paragraphs, explain the grandmother’s epiphany. (We can assume her spiritual epiphany happened at the last moment of her life when she reaches out to the Misfit.) For those of you who strongly believe the grandmother had no such epiphany, your thesis will address WHY she was not redeemed at the very end. MY ADVICE: This essay is, I think, easier to write if you assume she was “saved” at the very end when she reached out to touch the Misfit.

SUGGESTION: In thinking about the story you might take into consideration the following passage from the New Testament, Matthew 18, 3:

And (Jesus) said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Note: It doesn’t matter what your beliefs are in writing this essay. What does matter is that you simply appreciate that O’Connor herself often used the topic of “what makes a good Christian” and “Christian hypocrisy” in her stories.

SUGGESTED OUTLINE:

I. Introductory paragraph of 4-5 sentences in which the last sentence is a thoughtful thesis (main point) which responds to the question posed (explaining the grandmother’s epiphany, assuming there is one– the symbolism and imagery of the story suggest that she did experience a sudden redeeming epiphany). Consult “Writing Effective Introductions”–click on from Control Panel.

2. First body paragraph in which you characterize the grandmother, emphasizing her negative traits.

3. Second body paragraph in which you characterize the Misfit.

4. Third body paragraph in which you discuss/analyze the encounter between the grandmother and the Misfit.

5. Concluding paragraph in which you discuss the grandmother’s epiphany and the larger themes the story seems to suggest about the nature of good and evil.

Background: Surveys of European history seem inevitably to focus on Britain, France and Germany (and perhaps occasionally Italy, Russia/USSR, etc.), with the rest of Europe only making occasional cameo appearances-this course on Europe Studies has probably been no exception. Eastern Europe in particular seems to suffer. Norman Davies’s Vanished Kingdoms, on the other hand, makes a compelling case for integrating the histories of “half-forgotten Europe” into a a broader picture of the continent’s past, with particular attention given, esp. in (relatively) recent centuries, to Easter Europe.

Question: Does the idea of Europe Studies (or even European history) make sense, or is Europe better understood as a collection of subcultures (protestant and Catholic, northern, Alpine, and Mediterranean, east and west, rich and poor, Slavic, Germanic, and Latin, EU/non-EU, etc.) with individual histories?

Responses must consider at least three separate chapters of Norman Davies’s Vanished Kingdoms, and must address whether unique and longstanding Slavic traditions in eastern Europe (or, more recently, the intense influence of the USSR) undercut the European identity of any states or regions.

Successful responses will employ clear definitions, analytical comparisons, and specific evidence (lectures, primary sources, Davies, etc.).
