...Bebe Stores inc. Seems to be a very wealthy company and a couple of years ago they were doing very well in the industry. Lately the company seems to be going through a huge transition that has affected there company greatly. Some people would say that the decision to close the PH8 brand was a bad decision. Yes if you look at the short term it is a bad decision but in the long run this company will do a lot better. For the past couple of years the company has lost money because it cost a lot of money for the company to discontinue their PH8 division. What closing the PH8 division does is open up a lot of cash within the company which they plan to use on the expansion of their business over seas. Many countries like india are starving to be able to get stores like bebe into their country which means there is little to no competition which means a lot of customers at very high profits. Due to this due to this if they are able to afford to transfer into that market you can expect that this company will have a lot of revenue in their future. So someone might say on the cover it looks like this store is struggling but when you really look into the financials of the company its pretty much the opposite. There is a lot of upside in to this company and to this industry. This company cannot be compared to other company’s in the industry. They are going through many changes and if you were to determine if the company is doing good or bad just based on how other companies in the industry...

Es verdad también que el tema asusta un poco, y mucha gente cuando escucha las palabras “pañales de tela” recuerda aquellas gasas o picos que utilizaban nuestras madres y nuestras abuelas, que tenían que lavar y frotar a mano, que se sujetaban con imperdibles, absorbían poco y no eran demasiado prácticas. Estas famosas gasas siguen existiendo, y hay mucha gente que las sigue utilizando como pañal, pero por fortuna las cosas han cambiado mucho, y ahora usar pañales de tela es tan práctico y cómodo como utilizar los desechables y muchas familias los utilizan y están encantadas con el resultado.

If so, what was it? Why were you surprised? If not, why not? I wasn’t surprised due to the fact that I’ve been through the Code of Conduct many times and it’s not much different here at the University of Phoenix. Its all pretty much like the rules you must follow in a classroom. You must follow guidelines just about everywhere you go. Most people look at them as rules. I personally was not surprised due to the fact that I have seen this all before, in a classroom setting, on my job(s), and now with my online class. Academically, the biggest surprise to me that never fades is focusing. • What did you learn about the behaviors considered important for an ethical learner or student in the University of Phoenix learning community? Everything listed I’m pretty much familiar with. I’m pretty sure everyone understands how to have a mature and respectful demeanor and also show the same to one another.

Les parents et les enfants ont appris à jouer ensemble des percussions et à chanter. La seconde classe de musique proposait différents jeux et jouets, mais avec un fond musical en arrière-plan. Au départ de l’étude, tous les bébés présentaient une capacité de communication et un niveau de développement social similaires, aucun n’avait déjà participé à des classes de musique pour bébés. Une sensibilité évidente à la musicalité : «Les bébés qui ont participé aux cours de musique interactifs avec leurs parents montrent de manière plus précoce une sensibilité à la musique, au son juste, alors que les nourrissons qui ont participé à des classes d’écoute passive ne montrent pas les mêmes facultés. Leurs cerveaux répondent à la musique différemment, avec des réactions cérébrales plus marquées selon certaines tonalités musicales. Mais, si ces conclusions qu’on pourrait résumer au développement d’une sensibilité accrue de l’oreille sont moins surprenantes que les différences « non-musicales » observées entre les 2 groupes de bébés.

...Los bebés nacidos en los EE.UU. para las madres adolescentes corren el riesgo de problemas a largo plazo en muchas áreas importantes de la vida, como fracaso escolar, la pobreza y la enfermedad física o mental. Las mismas madres adolescentes también corren el riesgo de sufrir estos problemas. Embarazo en la adolescencia suele ser una crisis para la niña embarazada y su familia. Las reacciones más comunes incluyen la ira, la culpa y la negación. Si el padre es joven y comprometido, reacciones similares pueden ocurrir en su familia. Los adolescentes que están embarazadas pueden privarse de asistencia médica durante el embarazo, lo que lleva a un mayor riesgo de complicaciones médicas. Las adolescentes embarazadas necesitan comprensión especial, atención médica y educación - en particular acerca de la nutrición, las infecciones, el abuso de sustancias y las complicaciones del embarazo. También necesitan aprender que el uso de tabaco, alcohol y otras drogas, pueden dañar al feto en desarrollo. Todas las adolescentes embarazadas deben recibir atención médica comenzando al principio de su embarazo. Las adolescentes embarazadas pueden tener muchas reacciones emocionales diferentes: algunos no quieren que sus bebés otros pueden ver la creación de un niño como un logro y no reconocer las graves responsabilidades algunos pueden mantener a un niño de complacer a otro miembro de la familia algunos pueden querer un bebé para tener alguien a quien amar, pero no entiendo la cantidad...

...Una cena sorpresa La madre angustiada llamó a la anciana una vez más, pero ella no contestó. “Ya debe estar dormida”, dijo el padre mientras manejaba de vuelta hacia su casa en compañía de su esposa. Ambos cónyuges estaban muy cansados y angustiados, sobre todo la madre del niño, y querían volver a su casa a descansar y ver cómo estaba su pequeño bebé. Cuando llegaron a su casa el padre estacionó el auto en el parqueo en un solo y rápido movimiento pues su esposa tenía mucha prisa por entrar a la habitación y ver cómo estaba su bebé. Ella fue directo hacia los dormitorios, subió las escaleras y entró a su cuarto, lo buscó en la cuna y gritó de susto cuando encontró un pollo crudo entre las sábanas de la cuna. El padre por otro lado había ido a la cocina pues estaba hambriento, y desde allí grito: “¡demonios, esta anciana descuidada quemó la cena!” “Llámala para ver si ya puso a nuestro bebé a dormir” susurró la esposa de mi amigo a su oído, quien luego me dijo que lo disculpara unos minutos para realizar la llamada y enseguida Salió del salón y llamó a la niñera. Vi un gesto de alivio en su rostro y luego entendí a qué se debía; la anciana había contestado diciendo “sí, el niño ya está en su cuna, y se está haciendo tarde así que yo también me iré a dormir” muy bien- dijo el padre “nosotros estaremos allá pronto.” Entró al salón a llamar a su esposa que estaba charlando con la mía y al despedirse me dijo con un tono burlesco “ves, no es tan malo confiar en alguien nuevo” ...

...aborto un aborto en cualquier momento del embarazo, desde la concepción hasta el nacimiento del bebé. Sin embargo, el 88% de los abortos se realizan en el primer "trimestre". En muchos lugares, los abortos no están disponibles o son ilegales. Sin embargo, abortos deben estar disponibles para todas las mujeres del mundo. La Enmienda Catorce establece que ningún estado puede "dictar ni ejecutar a cualquier ley que limite los privilegios o inmunidades de los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos." En 1973, los dos juicios en los tribunales, Roe vs Wade y Doe vs Bolton, los abogados utilizan la Enmienda Catorce para hacer abortos legales en los EE.UU. La Corte estableció que el derecho a la privacidad personal, protegida por la cláusula del debido proceso, incluye el derecho de las mujeres para determinar si ellas quieren tener un hijo. Las mujeres siempre deben tener el derecho a elegir si quiere o no quiere ser madre. Si una mujer no cree en abortos, ella no necesita tener uno. Sin embargo, todas las mujeres deben tener la oportunidad, si no cree que puede manejar la responsabilidad. Otra razón que el aborto debe permanecer legal es porque hay muchas madres que no son capaz de mantener a su bebé. Conforme a “Homeless World Cup”, estima que cerca de 600.000 a 2,5 millones de personas están sin hogar en los Estados Unidos. Si una de estas personas una mujer, tratando de criar a un bebé, ella no sería capaz de mantener a su hijo, darles las oportunidades que recibe el niño típico de...

...conflict management conflict. The first-conflict management style I will review is the avoidance style.” Avoidance is when people try to ignore disagreements.” (Bebe & Masterson, 2009 p.g. 161) People who use this style usually they swallow their feelings they smile even though they are upset or feeling pain. They conduct themselves in this manner because they are more concerned with other people emotional state more than theirs. Avoiders also change the subject to circumvent a conflict. An avoider may also change the subject to avoid a conflict. When they find a conversation to stressful to deal with they change the topic of the conversation. This style is the least likely style that will resolve a conflict. There are advantages and disadvantages of this conflict management style. The disadvantages of this style is emotions remain escalated and it could signal to others that you do not care. The advantages of this management style is that it allows everyone involved time to cool off and regroup. If the conflict is about something small and irrelevant it will allow yourself and others the ability not to revisit the conflict.” (Bebe & Masterson, 2009) The second conflict management style is the accommodation style. “This is when people try to make the conflict go away by giving into the wishes of others.” (Bebe &...
