| Since the beginning of the 21st century, ISO has been transitioning from a group supported by individual nations; to a central body dictating to those individual nations. It seems that with each new revision to an ISO standard, their increasingly globalist agenda becomes more evident. |

| <note important>The [[https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/|Cambridge Dictionary]] defines a "[[https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/globalist|globalist]]" as: \\ //someone who believes that economic and foreign policy should be planned in an international way, rather than according to what is best for one particular country//</note> |

However, "Note 5" states that the word “risk” is "sometimes" used when there is the //possibility// of only negative consequences (i.e., a "positive" consequence is impossible). In other words, ANY outcome other than the one "expected", will be negative. | However, "Note 5" states that the word “risk” is "sometimes" used when there is the //possibility// of only negative consequences (i.e., a "positive" consequence is impossible).

Now that we understand how ISO 9000:2015 has defined risk, and since it contains several references to ISO Guide 73, "//Risk management — Vocabulary//" (which was reviewed and confirmed in 2016), let's take a look at they are different from one another. | Now that we understand how ISO 9000:2015 has defined risk, and since it contains several references to ISO Guide 73, "//Risk management — Vocabulary//" (which was reviewed and confirmed in 2016), let's take a look at they are different from one another. |
As we can see, there are differences between ISO Annex SL, ISO 9000:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 31000:2018 & ISO Guide 73:2009 regarding the concept of "risk"; whether it be through the definitions or clarification notes provided. | As we can see, there are differences between ISO Annex SL, ISO 9000:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 31000:2018 & ISO Guide 73:2009 regarding the concept of "risk"; whether it be through the definitions or clarification notes provided. |

| <note tip>To use an analogy, the online dictionary "[[https://www.wordnik.com/|Wordnik]]" includes two definitions for the word [[https://www.wordnik.com/words/day|"day"]]: \\ |
| n. The period of light between dawn and nightfall; the interval from sunrise to sunset. \\ |
| n. The 24-hour period during which the earth completes one rotation on its axis, traditionally measured from midnight to midnight. \\ |
| \\ |
| Using this analogy, ISO //defines// "risk" as being both "negative" and "positive" in much the same way as a "day" can be interpreted as including both "light" and "darkness". However, the term "risks and opportunities" are used repeatedly in standards such as ISO 9001 & ISO 17025 in much the same way that one might casually refer to "day" and "night" as both occurring during a 24-hour "day".</note> |
