In class, we started to use open mind map to analyse the project. A mind map is a diagrammatic representation of varied elements that relate to a particular subject. Mind maps are used for solving problems, for creating to-do-list for, promoting creative ideas, and for discussing different elements of the project planning stage. This made me more…

1. Identify an argument put forth in the case about the BP oil spill. Describe that argument clearly and base your description on evidence from the case. One argument talked about in the case was the need for circulating mud and the use of a cement bond log. In order to prevent blowouts, you are supposed to circulate mud through the entire drilling rig to see if any gas is coming up with it, then once separated out, if present, you are to put all the mud back down through the well. It was…

Examining sociological concepts through a film was an interesting task to do. It was a completely different way of watching a movie. Being able to pull out themes and concepts that we have learned in this sociology class was a great way to learn and understand from a different standpoint. Issues of race, gender, and social class were the main concepts of the movie “Crash.” The concept of race is the main focal point that the movie revolves around; both implicit and explicit. Many concepts could…

According to the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee as of 2012, only 14 percent of engineers of women (Casey) but yet women in America as of 2016 are 50.6 percent of the united states population (Countrymeters). Ideally in every field the male to female ratio should represent the population of the area but yet there is a 36.6 percent difference between the ratios of women in the population and women in engineering. That means there should be about 732,000 more women in engineering (NSPE).…

In this interesting case study, I learned what kind of effects IT can have on businesses. Overall, I believe that the partnership between IT and the business at Hefty Hardware has its miscommunication issues. They can be effective with the right help from executives by making sure that each does their attended workload and not mixing and matching by having the IT department work cross functionally. The partnership between both groups does not hold up effectively at all. I personally believe that…

Secondly, I will assess one of Descartes’ main arguments of the roots of knowledge and God’s role with this, and finally I will speak about Descartes’ ontological…
