The connections between the disciplines when it comes to entrepreneurship is the necessity of failure and learning. The start of entrepreneurship in any discipline requires hard work, determination, planning, failing, and adapting. Whether the discipline is in cooking, farming, or cybersecurity, many businesses made by potential entrepreneurs will fail for the first couple startups. What makes an entrepreneur successful is the way they can handle and adapt to failure. Adaptation to previous failures can also be considered experience, and often times, experience teaches more than a thousand books can give you.
Entrepreneurship is more like a science than an art. Something that can be classified as an art is based more off how well something can be done, and the consistency of the activity being done. While creating successful businesses can be seen as an art, the success of a business is more calculations and changing for the market, and this lack of consistency separates it from being an art. A science is something that is made to learn, not succeed. However, the learning process and the adapting to the market allows success to happen without success being the main objective. After all, the art of creating business is easy to do, but having that business succeed take the business to a whole other science.
Failure is good because with failure, there are lessons to take away from each attempt. Just like the Jesper Juul stated in his article on video games, failure is not something we seek, but we like the growth that comes because of the failure. If there was no failure, that would be saying there is no room for growth, and with the advances in technology, there is always room for growth in any aspect of life. Nothing is made perfect, and failure is a pathway to how we can achieve success.
From failing at education, sports, and relationships, I have learned about different ways to make myself better than I have been. In education, upon entering Old Dominion University, the courses were more difficult than I had imagine being since Reynolds courses felt like a second high school. It was a rude awakening, but even with the failure in some courses, I was able to see what I was doing wrong in my life and correct it in order to pass and gain knowledge from each course. Sports and relationships taught be ways on how to become better than who I was, and that attributed to how I am today.
The ethical issues I will come across to what I am working on would be the invasion of privacy among the data of older individuals. I am working on the coding to be able to create an SSO app that allows for the maintenance and notification of potentially harmful software that can compromise elderly individuals. The privacy issue, and the data security issue are the biggest ethical challenges approaching the app itself because of the possibility of breaches to happen within this app. These ethical issues can then be called to become legal issues if not addressed properly.
