    Qualitative Analysis. Master’s thesis at Erasmus University.

    The proposal has been submitted to the professor and has been approved (attached)

    There will be a qualitative analysis on data from interviews, which I will provide the answers.

    The first step is to develop a strong literature review focusing on the barriers to sustainability adoption in production planning. Please prepare a full draft of the literature review chapter and send it to me for feedback.

    As a guideline, the chapter should be approximately 10 pages in length and be well supported by references to relevant academic, peer-reviewed journal articles. The literature review should address and answer the sub-questions defined in your proposal. In this phase, you should answer these sub-questions as thoroughly as possible based on existing literature; in a later stage, you will complement this with empirical findings from your survey.

  • The Matrix versus The Cave

    For this assignment, I want you to watch the 1999 futuristic and somewhat dystopian film, The Matrix, and read Platos The Allegory of the Cave, part of his Republic text. After reading and viewing both, I want you to write a short 3-4 page paper, 12-pt font, double-spaced. (If you quote or paraphrase, please include citations at the end of your paper.)

    Start by comparing the matrix in The Matrix to the cave in The Allegory of the Cave. How are they similar and/or different? (Consider the purpose of the matrix and the cave, who inhabits these places, and the symbolism of each.) Next, what is Plato saying about reality? What happens when we think something is true and it turns out to be false and vice versa?

    Then, consider the character Cypher in The Matrix; he chooses to betray his comrades, wants to leave the resistance, and returns to the Matrix. Why? What is wrong with the matrix if what we feel is pleasurable? Is it better to live in the matrix in some ways than see things as they really are? This is what Cypher concludes is he wrong? Is it true that ignorance is bliss? Explain the pros and cons of this statement as it relates to the matrix and cave.

    Finally, Morpheus explains to Neo, You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Explain which you would choose and why.

    No single “right” answer to this assignment exists, so do not cut and paste off the internet. That is plagiarism, and it is easily traceable. Instead, I am asking you to think things through and show me you are grappling with the issues in The Matrix and The Allegory of the Cave.
