Throughout the reading on Augustine of Hippo, I realized there was a common understanding of good and evil which I found intriguing. After describing his childhood experience when he steals pears from the pear tree near his vineyard, he claims that humans do evil things for the sole reason of sinning. I agree with this notion because I think everyone remembers a time where they knew where they were doing something wrong and yet continued to do it anyway. In Harrington, Augustine then goes on to…

an omnibenevolent god wouldn’t deceive us then there must be an evil demon doing so. (2) If an evil demon is our source of deception then one cannot know true beliefs. In the passage from Sweetman’s “The Pseudo-Problem of Skepticism” the conclusion is that we should not take the problem of skepticism seriously because we have no reasons to do so.

solve complex problems. Complexity refers to the difficulty in predicting the overall behavior of a system—even when given near perfect information—due to the large number of components and interconnections between them (Edmonds, 1995)(Heylighen, 1996). Therefore, a complex problem is one that is difficult to solve due to the large number of components and interconnections involved. I believe my life’s task is to solve complex problems as a Chief-Analytics-Officer at a science-based federal…

As managers, in order to resolve a conflict occurring within an organization, the manager must first be willing to admit there is a problem. Simply ignoring the conflict does not make it go away, in fact it could potentially be more dangerous to ignore it, but it is the easy way out.
