Introduction

The major proposed solutions towards controlling project risks are based upon a two-fold outlook framework i.e. the project’s uncertainty and the frequency of changes effective in the project’s lifecycle. Presumably, if a project has a relatively truncated level of uncertainty, a head-on, race-to-the-finish approach is most suitable, as only very little is expected to go wrong in the entirety of the project. The fast approach technique is preferred because it maximizes on the project’s present value, and consequently realizing the remunerations from the project as soon as is possible. Comparatively, established that a project runs an ...

Rossetti features two main children characters and contrasts their response to the lures. Against these lures or temptations, Laura succumbs, while Lizzie is headstrong.

Question No. 1

Tragedy of the commons, as envisioned by Hardin, is the infinite freedom of the people to use or make use of the finite free resources of the world. The unchecked and wanton use by the people of these free resources results in a tragedy, according to Hardin, because eventually such use will overwhelm the resources themselves. A simple, but graphic example used by the author to illustrate this point is a pasture that is open to all for use. If one or several persons use this pasture to graze their animals this would not pose harm to the pasture, ...

The issue of responsibility always stood acute in the minds of humanity. Throughout history, the fair division of responsibility was upon judges and rulers who decided what would be fair. Individual decisions without any systematic basis are not always fair, so there were made numerous attempts to give the answer to the question and resolve it once and for all. And while the cases where a group is responsible for an individual’s action seem more understandable and reasonable – Feinberg (1968, pp. 679-680), for example, even mentions the historical examples of collective responsibility, when the whole village was liable ...

Question 1

Ernest Rutherford One of the contributions of Ernest Rutherford includes the discovery that the Becquerel rays consisted of two different rays (Sears, 2015). The discovery of the two rays came about after Ernest Rutherford focused his attention on actual radiations that are emitted by radioactive substances. The experiment consisted of evaluations of radiations that were emitted from successively layered sheets of aluminum placed over a uranium compound. A distinction made in the two forms of rays was their penetrating power. According to Sears (2015), to be able to distinguish between the two forms of rays, Rutherford named the easily ...
