Module 2 Project Scope Management

Module 2 SLP continues with Kathy Schwalbes case study reviewed in SLP 1. For convenience, the case study is repeated here.

This project is for a company called Manage Your Health, Inc. (MYH) The company is starting a project called the Recreation and Wellness Intranet project and they have assigned Tony Prince as the project manager. MYH is allowing six months to complete the project with a budget of $200,000.

Tony has managed other projects and has some experience with systems analysis. He is also a sports fan, so he is considered to be a good fit for the project. One of the first tasks is to assemble a project team to do user surveys, then put the requirements together with an eye toward user-friendliness. It has already been determined that the system must address the following requirements:

Company-sponsored program registration (e.g., softball, swimming, etc.).
Company-sponsored health class registration (e.g., stress reduction, smoking cessation, etc.),
Tracking of participation in programs and classes.
Incentives for participation and doing well in programs and classes.
Project must not require additional hardware or software.

I will upload what I submitted for module 2

Any topic (writer’s choice)

For this project, you will research a solution to address the recent threat to the security of an e-commerce operation that you defined in Research Project 1 in Week 3. This is the continuation of your Week 3 project, and your revised Week 3 work will be included with the submission of this project. You will provide appropriate policies, procedures, products, and services that will effectively mitigate the risk of the e-commerce threat.
IMPORTANT: Please remember that this threat must be related to e-commerce, which, with very few exceptions, is now a web-based operation.

Research: You are expected to use credible sources upon which to base your report. In cases when the source is necessary, but credibility is not assured, you must address this issue in the text of your paper. You are required to use APA style for both in-text citations and the Reference section at the end of your paper. You can learn more about APA-style references by clicking the APA tutorial link near the bottom of the Syllabus. You must use a minimum of four sources.
Originality: Although you will be using outside sources for this project–and using citations to indicate where ideas have come from within the sources–all writing must be in your own words. No direct quotations of outside sources are allowed.

Required Elements
Cover page
Table of contents
Presentation of the threat including how the threat was identified, the technical features that characterize the threat, how it works, vulnerabilities it exploits, and so forth
Diagram depicting the mechanism of attack and exploitation
Potential or actual consequences including damage to hardware, software, data, personnel, financial losses, and so forth: You should identify the nature of the security compromise (i.e., data confidentiality, integrity, availability).
Risk assessment based on the concepts presented in the Week 3 Lecture
Deliverables: The minimum length of the paper–not counting the cover page, table of contents, and references–is four double-spaced pages. The maximum length is six pages. Do not submit papers that have less or more pages than specified here.

chinese philosophy

Write 800-1,000 words answering the following questions based on the week’s reading.

1. What is the main philosophical point in the following passage? Explain your reasoning.
Everything has its “that,” everything has its “this.” From the point of view of “that” you cannot see it, but through understanding you can know it. So I say, “that” comes out of “this” and “this” depends on “that” – which is to say that “this” and “that” give birth to each other. But where there is birth there must be death; where there is death there must be birth. Where there is acceptability there must be unacceptability; where there is unacceptability there must be acceptability. Where there is recognition of right there must be recognition of wrong; where there is recognition of wrong there must be recognition of right. Therefore the sage does not proceed in such a way, but illuminates all in the light of Heaven.6 He too recognizes a “this,” but a “this” which is also “that,” a “that” which is also “this.” His “that” has both a right and a wrong in it; his “this” too has both a right and a wrong in it. So, in fact, does he still have a “this” and “that”? Or does he in fact no longer have a “this” and “that”? A state in which “this” and “that” no longer find their opposites is called the hinge of the Way. When the hinge is fitted into the socket, it can respond endlessly. Its right then is a single endlessness and its wrong too is a single endlessness. So, I say, the best thing to use is clarity.

To use an attribute to show that attributes are not attributes is not as good as using a non-attribute to show that attributes are not attributes. To use a horse to show that a horse is not a horse is not as good as using a non-horse to show that a horse is not a horse,7 Heaven and earth are one attribute; the ten thousand things are one horse.

What is acceptable we call acceptable; what is unacceptable we call unacceptable. A road is made by people walking on it; things are so because they are called so. What makes them so? Making them so makes them so. What makes them not so? Making them not so makes them not so. Things all must have that which is so; things all must have that which is acceptable. There is nothing that is not so, nothing that is not acceptable.

For this reason, whether you point to a little stalk or a great pillar, a leper or the beautiful Hsi-shih, things ribald and shady or things grotesque and strange, the Way makes them all into one. Their dividedness is their completeness; their completeness is their impairment. No thing is either complete or impaired, but all are made into one again. Only the man of far reaching vision knows how to make them into one. So he has no use [for categories], but relegates all to the constant. The constant is the useful; the useful is the passable; the passable is the successful; and with success, all is accomplished. He relies upon this alone, relies upon it and does not know he is doing so. This is called the Way.

But to wear out your brain trying to make things into one without realizing that they are all the same – this is called “three in the morning.” What do I mean by “three in the morning”? When the monkey trainer was handing out acorns, he said, “You get three in the morning and four at night.” This made all the monkeys furious. “Well, then,” he said, “you get four in the morning and three at night.” The monkeys were all delighted. There was no change in the reality behind the words, and yet the monkeys responded with joy and anger. Let them, if they want to. So the sage harmonizes with both right and wrong and rests in Heaven the Equalizer. This is called walking two roads.

2. Give an interpretation of this passage – perhaps the most famous in Zhuangzi. What is the philosophical point he is making?
Once Chuang Chou dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn’t know he was Chuang Chou. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Chuang Chou. But he didn’t know if he was Chuang Chou who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Chuang Chou. Between Chuang Chou and a butterfly there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things.

3. What is Schwitzgebel’s argument in section ii. of his paper? What is his conclusion in this section? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

4. What is Schwitzgebel’s interpretation of oneness in Zhuangzi in section v? How does this compare to the view of oneness in the Daodejing? 

5. Schwitzgebel claims that there are always three versions of Zhuangzi – a radical version “death is the same as life,”, a moderate version “it’s better to live a long life but people make too big a fuss about it,” and a skeptical version “maybe death is better than life.” The idea is that Zhuangzi is not coherent in his views. What is a view that you are not coherent about? What are the three versions of your view?

6. Do you think coherence is a good thing for a philosophical view? Why? Do you view the incoherence in Zhuangzi as a strength or a weakness?

7. Do you think you are the philosopher dreaming you are a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming you are a philosopher? Does the answer matter?

here is other resource for the essay. and you have to read section two for it : https://terebess.hu/english/chuangtzu.html#2
