COMPUTER CONTROL AUDITING AND SECURITY > TAKE ASSESSMENT: TEST 6 TOPIC 6

Question 1
	Which below are indirect threats posed by fire? (13.2)
	A. Heat B. Release of toxic fumes C. Water damage from fire suppression D. Smoke damage E. Fire itself F. All of the above G. Only A, B, C and D above

The direct threat is the damage caused by the fire itself. The indirect threats are from heat, release of toxic fumes, water damage from fire suppression, and smoke damage.

Question 2
	TRUE OR FALSE - An overflowing of water into a data center can cause direct damage to all or part of the information system. (13.6)
	True False

Prevention and mitigation measures for water threats must encompass the range of such threats. For plumbing leaks, the cost of relocating threatening lines is generally difficult to justify. With knowledge of the exact layout of water supply lines, measures can be taken to locate equipment sensibly. The location of all shutoff valves should be clearly visible or at least clearly documented, and responsible personnel should know the procedures to follow in case of emergency. To deal with both plumbing leaks and other sources of water, sensors are vital. Water sensors should be located on the floor of computer rooms, as well as under raised floors, and should cut off power automatically in the event of a flood.

Question 3
	A device that assures the delivery of electric power without interruption is a(n) __________. (13.7)
	A. GFCI B. HVAC C. GPS D. UPS

To deal with brief power interruptions, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) should be employed for each piece of critical equipment. The UPS is a battery backup unit that can maintain power to processors, monitors, and other equipment for a period of minutes. UPS units can also function as surge protectors, power noise filters, and automatic shutdown devices when the battery runs low. For longer blackouts or brownouts, critical equipment should be connected to an emergency power source, such as a generator. For reliable service, a range of issues need to be addressed by management, including product selection, generator placement, personnel training, testing and maintenance schedules, and so forth.

Question 4
	What are the benefits of security awareness, training and education programs for a organisation? (14.1)
	A. Improving employee behavior B. Increasing the ability to hold employees accountable for their actions C. Mitigating liability of the organization for an employee's behavior D. Complying with regulations and contractual obligations E. All of the above

1. Improving employee behavior
2. Increasing the ability to hold employees accountable for their actions
3. Mitigating liability of the organization for an employee's behavior
4. Complying with regulations and contractual obligations

Question 5
	At its core, a(n) __________ policy is a document that outlines the protections that should be enacted to ensure that the organization’s assets face minimal risks. (14.3)
	A. Safety B. Acceptable use C. Change management D. Security

An organizational security policy is a formal statement of the rules by which people that are given access to an organization's technology and information assets must abide.

Question 6
	Which of the following are reasons why organisations would have a email and internet use policy? (14.7)
	A. Stop work time being consumed through non-work-related activities B. Stop staff members looking at work related websites C. Stop staff members emailing organisation suppliers and or clients from outside the organisation D. None of the above

1. Significant employee work time may be consumed in non-work-related activities, such as surfing the Web, playing games on the Web, shopping on the Web, chatting on the Web, and sending and reading personal e-mail.

2. Significant computer and communications resources may be consumed by such non-work-related activity, compromising the mission that the IS resources are designed to support.

3. Excessive and casual use of the Internet and e-mail unnecessarily increases the risk of introduction of malicious software into the organization's IS environment.

4. The non-work-related employee activity could result in harm to other organizations or individuals outside the organization, thus creating a liability for the organization.

5. E-mail and the Internet may be used as tools of harassment by one employee against another.

6. Inappropriate online conduct by an employee may damage the reputation of the organization.

Octopus card scandal

In Hong Kong, almost everyone has at least one Octopus card (on average each person possess two cards!), which is a rechargeable contactless stored value smart card using the RFID technology. It is widely used in Hong Kong because it brings a lot of convenience to the people for shopping, eating in restaurants, taking class attendance in almost all the high schools of HK etc…and almost all public transportation (especially for the mass transit system (MTR)). Each card has a built-in microchip containing an electronic purse which can actually calculate and store all the information regarding the holders’ transaction details. It is also recognised internationally and wins many prestigious awards. Many companies from different regions and countries visited Octopus Company (which is mainly owned by MTR company of HK) to learn the advanced technology and management of Octopus system. While Octopus cards can be purchased anonymously for cash, over 2.4 million customers have registered for the widely adopted Octopus Rewards program with their personal information, according to the information posted in its website.

However, such a “giant” and “prestigious” company suddenly became a controversial target in this July (2010) when it was disclosed by a local media that the management of the Octopus company has been selling nearly 2 million customers’ private data to merchants since 2006. The Octopus company made a total revenue of HK$44 million by selling these customer’s personal data.

The Octopus controversy, the company's CEO first denies that clients' personal data has been sold to third parties for direct marketing. With further investigation by local legislators, she admitted that her earlier denial was erroneous because she did not have critical information when she issued her first denial. She later revealed that Octopus had made HK$44 million in revenue selling information on 1.97 million customers to six companies during the past 4.5 years.

As CEO of the company and the person who might well initiate such deals, she should have had full knowledge of the business. Through her public denial when confronted by the media and legislators who pressed serious concerns on behalf of the public, she has shown a lack of honesty, lack of business ethics, and lack of social responsibility.

Under the pressure of all the medium (newspaper, TV, radio etc.) and the direct intervention of the local government, the MTR board (which owns 57% of share of Octopus company) apologized to the public for “inconsistencies and errors in public communications made by Octopus management.” The octopus management team has decided to donate all the money earned by selling the privacy to merchants to charity.

However, the people responsible involved in this scandal will not face any lawsuit because there are not any existing privacy laws to regulate this kind of scandal (which might be a bit surprising). Octopus’ privacy policy explicitly states that customer data may be used by “any of [Octopus'] selected business partners” for marketing and Octopus asks for information irrelevant to the card’s operation). Therefore the public has urged to form the legislature to set up the laws/rules to forbid the sale of personal information immediately. The public is outraged at being lied to and outraged that the company has denied selling information for years.

So please discuss what you learned from such example. And what social responsibility, business ethics, and privacy responsibility should a large corporation have? How can regulation of companies such as Octopus, with strong government support, be achieved without these companies failing to comply with the rules themselves? Should local privacy law be revised and regulatory control over Octopus be strengthened concerning supervision and monitoring of business ethics of the business giants? How?

------------------------------

Example 1:

When i was child, I still use my coins and run to the LTR station. Then being hurry to buy ticket because i was going to miss a class. Since Octopus was established, i begin to take a contract with it and have a great convenience for my transportation. Of course, i still didn't know what privacy is.

Now, when i see the news talking that the company of Octopus will sell their customers including me and my parents, the personal information. I feel a bit horrible. Sometimes, personal information is not too important for me, but it does not mean that the company should sell our personal information and the important point is they denies that.

To be honest, the deal is already noted that the personal information maybe used by other partners of Octopus. That can be the residents problem that we never see the policy to purchase Octopus with private data. Moreover, it just making the advertisement always phone us, and still not make us a critical lost i think. Why we don't see the policy and information of every deal detail? If the information for us is really important, we should beware for this even more.

About the CEO, she should admitted that her denial earlier. In the business, the important thing is honest. Honest also is the major thing of social responsibility and business ethics. If a person lies just once, no one will trust him again, like he dig a hole in his honest. The hole can't be fixed forever. When he lies more, there will be more holes. However, the CEO of Octopus company can admitted her false earlier, instead of after it become a scandal and too late.

The customers has lack of knowledge for their privacy and Octopus’ privacy policy explicitly states that customer data may be used. It exactly is legal for their personal data being used, but the customers has not enough knowledge so they look like being lies. The problem is, the company use that to make the great amount revenue and the revenue is just for the company themselves. So i think it is not moral and unfair for the customers. Customers can't sense their important information should not be given to company.

The resident especially children doesn't know what privacy is yet. However, the government can promote the education about the privacy for the student, remind that i didn't know what privacy is when i still was a child. So there should be some education for child, teach them what information themselves should not be issued to strangers, make stronger about the privacy education. Let them always remember these rules until they become independent. So that they will have a better defence with their privacy, which maybe more important than their money. Although Octopus card's fee is low, customers may lose more money when their important information is given to others.

Octopus does a false event, but i still would like to use it. It is too convenience in our life and sometimes we will be given back our money because of many discount (e.g. MTR student 50% fee). Without this card, transportation and other things will be more costly and trouble.

Example 2:

Hong Kong’s Octopus Holdings Limited sold customers’ personal information to other companies and has been paid HK$44 million since January 2006. It raised a lot of discussions among the society regarding the social responsibility of enterprises. In fact, it is not something new to identify what people need by analyzing the customers’ data and then determine how to market the products. It is widely accepted by customers. However, when enterprises do not take the customer value seriously for a short-term profit, the customers were not likely to continue paying for their products.

In the local corporate culture, most managers of practices have business backgrounds, especially in marketing and promotion. Maximizing profit is their only target and they pay less attention to the public interests. Like the Octopus Holdings Limited, it has a weak customers’ privacy scheme. Opt-out instead of opt-in mechanism is used for their services where customers’ data will be available to others. The company then claims that it is the user’s responsibility to dig for it. The Octopus Holdings Limited sold user's personal information and even not giving them sufficient opportunities to know how their personal data would be used. The company has not promoted human rights protection in the business policies. It obviously violated corporate social responsibility.

Selling customers’ data by the Octopus Holdings Limited is just one of examples showing that customers’ personal data is not well protected by corporates. The case also relates to the control of unsolicited commercial electronic messages, such as faxes, emails, short messages, pre-recorded telephone messages, etc. If the Hong Kong Government can do a deeper research for the cases, it may find that both the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Ordinance enforced by the Office of the Telecommunications Authority and Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance enforced by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong have been broken at the same time. Since the enforcement of the two ordinances is co-related, it is advised that the two offices can work together and exchange information.

Octopus is one of the world’s leading smart card payment systems. The public thus has a very high expectation to the Octopus Holdings Limited. After the case, both the customer relationship and trust to the company are damaged. An enterprise should seek for a balance between business and social values. If it takes care about the social responsibility, the image of company and the employers’ sense of belonging will be improved. It will benefit from the situation.

-----------------------------------


Example 3:

In Hong Kong, many people use Octopus card. We use octopus card everywhere, transportation, convenience shop, fast food shop, etc. Octopus card become an important part of us.

Few years before, Octopus company starting a reward promotion called　“Earn and Redeem Reward”. Customers can redeem points by using Octopus card. But while the customers apply for the “Earn and Redeem reward”, they should sign for an agreement, the terms and condition inside contain a few pages of terms, including some terms with 1-1.5mm font. How many of us will read the terms and condition Octopus company state? A public survey revealed that more than 90 per cent of the respondents said they hadn’t read the personal information statements when they provided data to apply for Octopus services, reports Bloomberg.

In July, while the Octopus “Earn and Redeem reward” happening occur. The Hong Kong citizens start to pay attention to the privacy problem. This happen tells us that we should pay more attention to protect our personal information and the Hong Kong companies should pay attention to their social responsibility, business ethics and privacy responsibility.

In this case, Octopus Company trying to conceal the information of the terms and conditions, Octopus company only concern to fulfill the privacy law of government but ignore customer’s reception to selling our personal information. This is an action lack of social responsibility and business ethics, makes the customers very disappointed.

In fact, the companies have responsibility to explain the terms and condition to us clearly, and let us know clearly how they will handle our personal information ,because many people will not read the terms themselves, some of them are not able or don’t have enough knowledge to read the terms. For example, they can make the fonts bigger, or explain the terms to us while we sign the contract, to let customers from every ages clearly watch the terms and condition.

As the biggest shareholder of Octopus, Government also to be one's unshirkable responsibility, they take not enough monitor to the company. I think it’s the time for them to revise the local privacy law. Maybe they can revise the law, ensure a readable font size in the terms and condition, or ensure all the companies should monitor by an individual organization, to protecting the privacy information.

In conclusion, Hong Kong companies should make more improvement to their social responsibility, business ethics and privacy responsibility. Many times, we have no choice to choose a service providers, it’s hard for us to decline the contract. So, responsible companies are very important. They should monitor themselves to protect the customer information. A good company will not always face to money, they will concern more about the social responsibility, these action cannot earn much money, but it can improve their business ethics, also can build their brand, the outcome is more great.

-----------------------------



Example 4:


In today’s modern society, corporate company should not only concern on the profit of their company but also on business ethics and social responsibility. Company shouldn’t just look at the minimum requirement of the law, the company’s decision will not face any lawsuit or harm to the public, but this might lose the public trust.


Octopus card help to save transaction time for transportations, settle payment of fast-food chain and gives our life more convinience. However such a a “giant” and “prestigious” company suddenly become a big seller by selling our personal information for 4.5 years without our consent.


Although Octopus had stated that the applicant information would be used by “any of [Octopus'] selected business partners”, how many people had awared of this statement or denied to apply such a convenience service due to this reason?


“More than 90 per cent of the respondents said they hadn’t read the personal information statements when they provided data to apply for Octopus services”2, reports Bloomberg.
I believe that they hadn’t read through the terms and condition when signing any contract including submit the data for apply service and was caused by the font size, wordings and voluminousness of the statement.


Recently we had received a lot of advertising phone calls, we cannot clarify if this is related to Octopus or not, but the trend is many companies gain revenue by selling customer’s information to their business partner. If the government still not revising the local privacy law, the problem will get worse.


The goverment has the responsibility to revise the local privacy law to constrain the companies, which have to provide options for applicants to choose if they are willing to accept their personal information will be disclosed to or used by the third party companies. The government should check whether those companies have failed to comply with the rules, and reveal the result to the public in order to enhance the transparency of the companies.


If the company was listed in failing to comply with rules or denies to the public like the CEO of Octopus, its company image will be discredited. It takes times to re-build the public image of Octopus company after the public knew they sold their information, “Octopus must do more than replace its chief executive officer to regain public trust”1, two lawmakers said.


Hong Kong residents lack knowledge for their privacy protection and it is legal for their personal information being used by companies, which the company business operate as opaque system, the residents could not know whether their privacy have been well protected. The government should provide education through programmes and advertisement to elevate how to protect personal information.


The Octopus issue is an alert for people in Hong Kong starting to protect their personal information by read through the statement when signing contract or apply any kind of services.


Octopus did a wrong action and Hong Kong resident had lost their confidence on using octopus, but it is too convinient to our daily life, we will keep using it for transportation but might not go for further extend on other usage.


Now there is a pressing need to revise the privacy law and regulatory control over and strengthened the concerning supervision and monitoring of business ethics, forbid the sale of personal information immediately after revealing Octopus had sold customers’ information. The public is outage and didn’t know whether there are other companies had followed the same track several years ago.


The Octopus data leak has sparked public outrage over privacy laws in Hong Kong, with many voicing concern that their private information is being exposed and there are few laws to protect them.”Currently the highest penalty for privacy infringement is a fine of a few thousand HK dollars, which is an insufficient deterrent for large multi-million enterprises.”3 Dr. Wilson Wong said (Assistant Professor of Politics and Public Administration at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, )
“the current laws fail to protect citizens and leave them exposed to information abuse.”4 Emily Lau said (Member of the Legislative Council)


From my point of view, hopefully the Government can revised the local privacy law before such kind of issue happen again and well protect all resident’s personal information.

-------------------------------------


Example 5:

For the case of selling customers’ personal data, I believe that the fiasco is just the tip of the iceberg. Although Octopus’ privacy policy clearly states that customer data may be used by “any of [Octopus'] selected business partners” for marketing and Octopus asks for information irrelevant to the card’s operation, how many customers read the personal information statements?

Bloomberg.com found that more than 90 per cent of the respondents in a public survey said they hadn’t read the personal information statements when they provided data to apply for Octopus services. I believe that it is true as the font size of privacy policy in personal information statements is very small, and there are many words in privacy policy.

Certainly, many people will ignore the personal information statements, as font sizes are small and lots of words in there. Moreover, the aged people cannot read the statements well, should staff of octopus explain the details of Octopus’ privacy policy well when customer purchase the octopus card?

I am sure there are cardholders who don’t mind Octopus Company selling their personal data. In fact two companies exchange their customers personal data without make announcement already make customers antipathy.

So that in the future, when I buy any products and services, I will study privacy policy provided clearly to protect myself. In addition, I will also remind people I know to study any statement and policy related with them to avoid any unlucky things happen such as personal data was sold.

Society expects that organizations should provide products and services that are needed and desired by customers. However, people in Hong Kong really feel disappointed about it, as customers do not want to spread of their personal information. Customers provide their personal data because they believe that company needs their information to provide good services. However, Octopus Company did not protect personal data of its customers well, and after sold the personal data, customers will only receive more advertisement from other companies, but services provided by Octopus Company did not improved.

Government may check companies have failing to comply with the rules themselves or not in a fixed period, and show out the result. If a company is in the list of “failing to comply with the rules themselves”, its goodwill should be decrease and net profit will also decrease. Companies will not fail to fulfill with rules themselves, as they need customers’ trust. Moreover, business ethics of company people can understand which company is worth to trust or not.

In addition, government may provide some training course or information through social media to let people understand more how to protect their personal information. Also, government may also let managers of companies to understand how important of social responsibility, business ethics, and privacy responsibility.

Besides, local privacy law should be revised and regulatory control. One of reasons of Octopus Card admits making money selling personal data to third parties is there are not any existing privacy laws to regulate this kind of scandal. The people responsible involved in this scandal will not face any lawsuit. It is because people who purchased Octopus Card must be agreeing that customer data can be used by any of Octopus' selected business partners”. I think that customer should have their right to control the usage of their personal information between company bases on local privacy law.

Be honest, if personal information of managers in Octopus Company were sold or exchanged by another company, will they feel good? I wish local privacy law could be well to protect people in Hong Kong,

為什麼會迷信？

 (明報)2010年2月23日 星期二 05:10
【明報專訊】55歲茅山師傅歐陽國富自稱可助有志入娛樂圈的19歲「口靚模」轉運，誘騙她九度發生性行為並令她懷孕，茅山師傅被裁定9項誘騙性交罪成，判入獄6年9個月。現年21歲的口靚模供稱，因她當時工作量不多，經理人提及認識一名茅山師傅，可做法事令事業運轉好，因她們屬演藝界，所以要做性交、口交等茅山儀式。口靚模希望增加工作量及賺多些錢，答應做法事。

法官：過分迷信會釀悲劇

口靚模認為茅山師傅有法力不會令她懷孕，被告更叫她不用避孕。後來口靚模有感星運未見起色，質疑作法成效，被告指要完成9次法事才有效。口靚模對被告的說法半信半疑，但「真心希望可改運」，故仍按被告要求，每隔一個月便往「作法」。

該案法官陳廣池認為社會上有宗教與相信神靈的自由，又指迷信不一定是壞事，惟一旦過態便會釀成悲劇。價值觀會影響個人對外界遭遇的感受，他強調樂天安命、追求快樂為人之所求，命運乃掌握於一己修為與個人奮進，希望事件警惕過分迷信的人。

傳統中國習俗講求吉利，例如8代表「發」，與「死」諧音的4、14等數字就是不吉祥，傳統家庭的家中更會有一本《通勝》，可以查閱日子的吉凶。對相信科學的人來說，查《通勝》可能是迷信，香港城市大學    中國文化中心    主任鄭培凱教授則認為﹕「《通勝》內的曆法指出那天做什麼才配合天意，是按一年的年月日節氣安排生活的民間智慧，也是日常生活上的哲學。」他指出，以往的農民紅、白二事都會查《通勝》，「在作出生命中重要決定前，會從這本日常生活重要的書中找個吉利日子」。他指《通勝》對較相信命運學的人有用，「這些人較心存依賴，在吉利的日子心理上覺得較舒服、安穩，是圖個心安吧」。

不止是中國人，外國人也有迷信的方式。例如皇家馬德里    球星基斯坦奴朗拿度每逢大賽前，都要到同一家理髮店理髮，俄羅斯    網球員舒拉寶娃    則要求固定更衣室儲物櫃號碼等。

操作制約論 解釋「迷信」現象

美國    心理學家B. F. Skinner的操作制約（Operant conditioning）學說，或可解釋這個現象︰當你做一些行為，而這些行為帶來愉快結果，你就會開始把這個行為聯繫上結果，久而久之，行為會變成例行動作。就像多哥國腳、曼城    前鋒艾迪巴約    ，他有次代表多哥出賽，一個朋友送他護脛，結果那場比賽他建功了。艾迪巴約從此對這塊「好運pad」情有獨鍾，無論訓練或比賽都戴著。

2. Fallacy: False Causes

False Cause is presuming mistakenly the reality of certain causal connections.

3. Analysis:

Rephrasing  the original argument

Rephrase: Since they are the art performers, to do sexual intercourse, oral sex and so on of the “Maoshan” rite can improve the career fortune.

Premises and Conclusions

Premise: P        They are the art performers Conclusions: C       To do sexual intercourse, oral sex and so on of the “Maoshan” rite can improve the career fortune.

Explanation

There is no doubt that sex can just satisfy human desire. But there is no any evidence show that sex can improve one’s career fortune. Although they are the art performers, they use sex is cannot change their luck or improve their career fortune. Some people may want to achieve their desires or wants, and then choose to do things wrongly. That is a very dangerous thing that let many people would get hurt by that. As a result, there is an imagined causal connection between the premise and conclusion. Hence, the argument contains an informal fallacy of having a false cause.

擔心再塌樓 不滿遭忽略 業主促重建春田街雙號

【本報訊】市建局宣布展開馬頭圍道、春田街及鶴園街重建工程後，昨日舉行首場公眾諮詢會議，商討重建項目的細節。不少春田街雙數號碼的業主，不滿市建局沒將該處納入重建範圍，要求市建局一視同仁；有鶴園街業主則要求「舖換舖」，否則會反對方案。市建局主席張震遠表示，已考慮多方面因素，若將春田街雙數號碼納入重建項目，會拖慢整個工程進度。

擬建兩幢30 層高樓

市建局上周宣布，啟動重建馬頭圍道43 至45J 號、春田街1 至23 號單號，以及鶴園街6 及8 號的項目，昨午舉行首場公眾諮詢會議，約有三百名受影響居民參加。市建局初步構思於項目範圍內，重建兩幢樓高三十層的樓宇，保留現有的街舖特色，並確保有足夠的公共空間及通風位置；至於重建後的樓宇，市建局計劃不會設有平台。

張震遠說，今次重建是特事特辦，諮詢期為期一個月，期望能盡快安置居民；居民可於本月二十四日前，就重建計劃提出意見，若沒有居民提出反對，市建局最快可於五月提出收購價。

納重建將拖慢工程

在諮詢會上，不少春田街雙數號碼業主，不滿市建局沒將該處同時列入重建範圍。春田街雙數號碼業主其中一名代表關先生說，雙號業主同樣受到塌樓事件影響，留下陰影，他認為市建局只重建春田街單號，是忽略他們的感受，對他們並不公平。他還擔心重建工作展開後，工程會對春田街雙號樓宇造成損害，要求市建局一併重建。

張震遠回應說，曾考慮同時重建春田街雙號，但當地樓宇狀況明顯較馬頭圍道、春田街單號良好，而且若將雙號列入重建範圍，會拖慢整體工程進度，有可能要待一年後才展開。

因此經多方面考慮後，市建局決定以大局為重。他表示明白春田街雙號居民的失望，強調工程不會影響該處。

他還說，未來不排除重建春田街雙號，但暫時未有計劃。

舖主要求「舖換舖」

鶴園街業主亦不滿重建計劃。位於鶴園街六號的合隆麵檔陳先生表示，麵檔已經歷兩代，不滿市建局重建過程倉卒。他要求市建局「舖換舖」，並稱當地不少住宅業主要求「樓換樓」，否則將反對方案。數十名居民在大會完結後，更一度包圍張震遠理論，張震遠表示，收到居民意見，市建局本周四、五會再舉行四場諮詢大會，聽取更多居民建議。   

2. Fallacy: Division

Neglected the significance, misunderstand an property of the whole will be preserved after division.

3. Analysis

Rephrasing  the original argument

Rephrase: On the consultation forum, a lot of property owners of even street numbers of Chun Tin Street were dissatisfied with the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) that the buildings of even street numbers were not included in the redevelopment project. Mr. Kwan, one of the property owners, said the owners of even street numbers were also affected by the building collapse which casted a shadow over their lives. He thought that URA ignored their feelings as only the buildings of odd numbers of Chun Tin Street were going to be redeveloped. It was unfair to them. In addition, he was worried that the construction work of the redevelopment project would cause damages to the buildings of even numbers of Chun Tin. He requested URA to include those buildings in the project.

Premises and Conclusions

Premises: P1.       Chun Tin Street is included in the redevelopment project. P2.       Even street numbers of Chun Tin Street are a part of Chun Tin Street . Conclusions: C         Even street numbers of Chun Tin Street must include in the redevelopment project of Ma Tau Wai Road.

Explanation

Because of the accident that occurred in Ma Tau Wai Road , the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) announced that the buildings of 43- 45J Ma Tau Wai Road , 1-23 Odd street numbers of Chun Tin Street and 6-8 Hok Yuen Street were going to be redeveloped. However the even street numbers of  Chun Tin Street was not in the list of this redevelopment project, and  the owners of this building argued that their building also are the part of Chun Tin Street, so they think their building should be redeveloped too. However the URA chairman argued that because the building’s structure (even street numbers of Chun Tin Street ) was better than the odd street numbers buildings. In this case the owners of Even street numbers had misunderstand that Odd street numbers of Chun Tin Street were going to redeveloped, because these buildings were a part of Chun Tin Street, it causes the owners of Even street numbers think that they must be redeveloped too because these buildings also are a part of Chun Tin Street. Hence, the argument contains an informal fallacy of having a Division.

3. Analysis

Rephrasing  the original argument

Rephrase: A teen model called Monique who was found in possession of ketamine inside her school on last September. She has admitted her crime and has been put on probation for 12 months. She later appeared at a conference and bowed seven times to the publics to show her remorse, and said that she will be an Anti-drug Ambassador to have an effect on public.

Premises and Conclusions

Premises: P.         Monique has taken drug before.         . Conclusions: C.                She is suitable to be an Anti-drug Ambassador to persuade the publics do not take drug.

Explanation

Monique was 17 years old and she is studying in secondary school. Also she was a young model and there have some people who like her very much. However she was found in possession of ketamine last year. After this occurred, she still going to be an Anti-drug Ambassador. However it is ineffective because she has taken drug before, and it is hard to persuade publics especially students, and they may reject the argument about the disadvantages of taken drug that provide by Monique. Hence, the argument contains an informal fallacy of Argument against Persons.
