It is a follow up assignment of 2 previous assignements on risk of inadequate hygiene of surgical instruments. i am attaching my first 2 assignments for you to know what the storyline and standard of proof is and also the two articles as mentioned in the questions to be looked into.. Now after risk assessment the task is as follows: PART I (about 500 words only) 1. Refer to the Slovic paper and speculate how your case-study’s risk would rank on Slovic’s Factor-1 vs Factor 2 scale. You need not be exhaustive in addressing the sub-factors that contribute to each of these two main factors; choose the sub-factors that appear the most salient for your risk [approximately 1/2 page], 2. Still referring to Slovic paper, consider the affect heuristic (Gardner labels this the “good-bad” rule), and speculate what implications that rule has for your risk. Please make an effort to define the “good-bad” rule (in your own words) when answering this question [approximately 1/2 page] 3. Briefly contrast the egalitarian versus individualist world views, and discuss how this distinction could help predict how two individuals, well described by each label in turn, would respond to your risk [approximately 1/2 page] PART II : ( about 1500 words) 4. The above questions have been designed to narrow your tasks; that is to reduce reliance upon an open-ended question. This final question is more open-ended. Here you are invited to assess which risk perception insights have the most ramifications for your case study, in drafting a strategy for managing the risk and the concern (perception) for your case study. You may opt to use the hypothetical decision adopted in the last part of A2 or opt for a different recommended decision (just so long as you identify the relevant decision). Please make use of the knowledge you have built up from Assignments 1 and 2, along with lessons from Risk perception/communication (article Fischoff unplugged) to consider the risk communication & management plan. Orient your plan around a hypothetical decision context that you have posed. Your plan is not expected to be comprehensive, but rather is expected to highlight the considerations that are most relevant to your case study. You may refer to your earlier assignments as Appendices. Mostly use the articles provided as refernces and references from the previous assignments.
