In the case of Deepwater Horizon, both models play a role in the tragedy. The garbage can model comes from a combination of four different aspects of the active process; problems, solutions, participants and better opportunities (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2013). Whereas, the normative model argues that the decision makers stay bound by the notions of rationality that limit the wrong decision-making process (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2013). In addition, the eight decision-making biases, if implemented…

Yes, I'm going to compare SAO and Log Horizon, just because everyone compares the two and there are misconceptions that they are "the same thing". It would be like saying Star Wars and Star Trek are the same things. Similar setting, yes, but different focuses that appeal to different tastes.

SAO is more focused on the combat and Kirito is very reminiscent of a generic Shounen main character: He's powerful and has a special…

The Deepwater Horizon incident was caused by the failure of a cement base of the drilling-well. An explosion occurred due to the combination of: a faulty base, the flow of high pressure gases, and mechanical problems. A safety mechanism called the “blowout preventer” uses drill pipe to seal off the well in events like this. This preventer also failed, allowing for the oil spill to continue to leak. It was found that a nitrogen foam based cement was used in constructing the drilling-well base.…
