The spiral of silence theory propounded by Noelle-Neumann is one of the few theories in communication that focuses on public opinion. The theoretical work Spiral of Silence which was published sought to investigate and understand why people choose to suppress their opinions if they believe that it is in the minority. Her research sprung out of her curiosity as to why the citizens in Germany remained generally silent during the war when years later they claimed to have been actually against the ideas

SPIRAL MODEL The spiral model combines the idea of iterative development (prototyping) with the systematic‚ controlled aspects of the waterfall model. It allows for incremental releases of the product‚ or incremental refinement through each time around the spiral. The spiral model also explicitly includes risk management within software development. Identifying major risks‚ both technical and managerial‚ and determining how to lessen the risk helps keep the software development process under control

ABSTRACT Spiral structures are one of the most difficult patterns to classify. Spiral time series data has a helical movement with time that is both difficult to predict as well as classify. This paper focusses on how structural information about spirals can be useful in providing critical information to a neural network for their recognition. Results are presented on neural network solutions to the classical two-spiral problem by extracting structural and rotational information from the spiral training

According to Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann (1916 – 2010) (Appendix I) “Spiral of Silence” been introduced as an attempt to explain in part how public opinion is formed. She wondered why the Germans supported wrong political positions that led to national defeat‚ humiliation and ruin in the 1930s-1940s. The description of Spiral of Silence is audience

Spiral Dynamics and Value Systems “Our thinking creates problems that the same type of thinking will not solve” Albert Einstein “Without some sort of worldview‚ we remain lost in the blooming buzzing confusion of experience‚ as William James put it. In other words‚ all of our individual perceptions are‚ to some extent‚ embedded in particular worldviews. Within these worldviews‚ we still possess abundant freedom of choice‚ but worldviews generally constrain what we are even considering choosing.”

1. Discuss in details the advantages and disadvantages of Waterfall model. When to use it? When not to use it? How is it related to the Scope? (25 points) Answer – As the name suggests it is a simple process which is one way and does not have flexibility to revise the process phase already completed same as water once fall cannot jump back to its initial position. In this model one phase is completed and reviewed fully to enter the next phase. In this model phase do not overlap. Advantages
