To be honest, this is what our life has come too. The world is based on technology and working in the professional field, whether it is a first responder, education, or a BIG WIG from the state, social media is now the talk during most of our training process. If you know that you are going to get a really important professional job you should realize what you are going to post, if you have to question yourself, what you post ahead of time, than maybe it is a poor decision on your part.

Some alternatives to not posting what should not be posted, is also let the people you are having a good time with, is tol make sure nothing gets posted. Yes, we all feel that we have a right to post whatever we want, but there are some outcomes that come with the responsibility if you want that job, which requires no social media of anything inappropriate, than maybe you should reconsider what you post, or just do not have any social media whatsoever, atleast until you get the job then you can get back on it after a few months.

I have to deal with this because I work in the school system. We just started a new training on social media, so it is understandable that we must follow protocol, but also it goes against our rights. It’s that saying, you are damned if you do, or damned if you don’t.

n this situation i would explain to my friends in regards to the first statement, that they are faling deep into the slippery slope type of logical fallacy going with that belief. Falling into this thought process leads a person in this fallacy to “an acceptance of a succession of events without direct evidence that this course of events will happen” (Texas State Univ, n.d.). I wouldn’t be keen to the idea either but to take the idea of monitoring our social media content and email and change the idea to screening our phone calls and room surveilance is a far extreme that is more than unlikely to happen and also comes off as somewhat to another one of the logical fallacies of appealing to emotion, depending on the tone of how the statement comes off by that person.

To at least come off with a better and more valid argument would be to develop a better argument by utilizing the decision-making framework. We at least know that the conversation at hand deals with monitoring our emails and social media for identifying harassment and depression. Making a clear statement would be the best thing to do in this situation and not to muddy the waters on our feelings, so a statement like, ” Because the faculty is worried about bullying and depression with the students, they are considering to monitor our emails and social media.” Since we have a clear problem statement, we can now identify and chose alternatives to counter that point effectively due to the idea that will “increase your chances of identifying a broad range of alternatives and determining the best solution” (Reynolds, 2018). Once that’s done and a general agreement on the best option, which I would use the alternative of creating a resource with the faculty to report issues of depression or bullying and inform students of the process as my alternative. Utilizing this as an alternative would lead to students to have a peace of mind to have a place to talk about those isues in regards to bullying and depression and have a healtheir avenue than dealing with those things alone, which is how most would feel whether they were monitored or not.

Risk assessment and risk analysis are two independent techniques for discovering, analyzing, and managing potential hazards to the performance of a firm. Risk assessment is used to evaluate the potential dangers of a project or organization, whereas risk analysis is used to study the identified risks and estimate their impact on the enterprise. By performing both risk assessment and risk analysis, organizations can better understand their potential hazards and take actions to mitigate them.

Explanation in detail:

Risk assessment and risk analysis are two independent ways for identifying potentially harmful conditions inside an organization. Risk assessment refers to the process of identifying, assessing, and responding to potential threats that could jeopardize a company’s profitability. Risk analysis is the process of evaluating the potential hazards revealed during the risk assessment and determining the relevance of such risks to the firm.

A risk assessment is typically conducted to investigate the potential hazards connected with a project or organization in order to identify areas of the project or organization that may be vulnerable to risk. The goal of a risk assessment is to identify, evaluate, and manage potential hazards before they become a problem. For example, before initiating a new project, a firm may do a risk assessment to determine the potential hazards and the actions that must be taken to reduce or eliminate such hazards.

The identified risks are assessed using risk analysis to determine the impact of those risks on the firm. This process includes assessing the potential effects of newly found risks on the company’s operations, finances, and reputation.
Risk analysis also supports businesses in choosing which risks should be addressed first and how those risks should be addressed. For example, a company may conduct a risk assessment to determine the potential financial impact of a new initiative and the most effective means of reducing the related risks.

Finally, risk assessment is used to detect the presence of potential hazards, whereas risk analysis evaluates the identified hazards to determine their severity. Organizations that conduct risk assessments as well as risk analyses may increase their awareness of the potential hazards they face and the steps they should take to mitigate those risks.

The difference between risk assessment and risk analysis is fairly simple. Risk assessment is where the entire risk outline is layed out. Risk analysis is simply a step within the risk assessment idea. (RiskOptics, 2022) Risk assessment helps you better organize the many different possible risks. Risk analysis is one of the steps within Risk assessment, and during this step, we look at the different risks involved and rate each risk, meaning how serious is each risk. An example is how apple did not want to develop a “backdoor” for their iphone software. The government wanted Apple to create a way to unlock iphones without the need for passwords and biometric scans. Apple took into considerations of the huge risks that would be involved if they were to create such a thing for the government. In the end, the risk for everyone’s personal data being coprimised is very high, thus, Apple decided against it and never created a “backdoor” for their software, protecting the personal information of millions. (Cook, 2016)

This weeks discussion is on risk assessment and risk analysis and to discuss the distinct differences between the two

The way I see risk assessment and risk analysis are integral components of an organization’s risk management strategy, but they serve different roles. Risk assessment focuses on identifying and categorizing potential risks in a qualitative manner, providing a broad overview of the risk landscape. For instance, in a healthcare facility, a risk assessment could involve identifying various patient safety concerns like medication errors or equipment malfunctions. This helps the facility understand the scope of potential issues. In contrast, risk analysis delves deeper, using quantitative methods to evaluate specific risks identified during the assessment. For the same healthcare facility, risk analysis might involve calculating the likelihood of medication errors occurring and estimating the financial and patient safety consequences. This detailed analysis informs precise decision-making and resource allocation. The choice between risk assessment and risk analysis depends on the organization’s needs, with assessment offering a preliminary understanding of risks and analysis providing the data-driven insights necessary for targeted risk mitigation and management.
