...E – Business Children’s Place E-business ACC 340 Cito Vanegas July 31, 2014 Introduction Children’s Place is a children’s apparel and accessories retail store. They opened up in 1969 in Secaucus, New Jersey. Children’s Place are usually located in and around regional malls. When they opened they had all different kinds of products. Nevertheless, they went through all the different products and found out what sells. At is how they made it children’s apparel retail store. In 1983, Children’s Place was bought out from a corporation that has built 34 store in the Northeast to the Mideast of North America. Even though they have been bought out they kept the name. In 1989 Children’s Place had to go into other department stores to sell their products because they were not making a large enough profit to keep with stores open without other companies. They still were not making the profits that they needed to so they had to close some of the business. However, in 1999 Children’s Place decided to go open one more store which it was an online store www.childrensplace.com. They thought if they did not make it in the online business that they would have to sell the business or go bankrupt. After 1999 they had 300 stores and two warehouses. The growth in sales were very impressive. They were making 22% annually growth each year after 1999.

...children that use the internet. Two of these acts are the Children’s Internet Protection Act and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. According to "Informationshield.com" (1998), The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) “prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with the collection, use, or disclosure of personally identifiable information from and about children on the Internet.”(para. 1) COPPA is in place to ensure children are being protected because children are learning more and more about technology and using it on a day-to-day basis. They are using it in the classroom at school, at home, and on their cellular devices. There are predators that collect information from websites geared towards children thirteen and under and these individuals try to gain a child’s trust and friendship in order to harm them. These types of ethical issues made the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act necessary. COPPA requires a parent to give consent for a child’s personal information to be collected or put to use for any reason. The companies that have websites are also responsible for providing and maintaining reasonable procedures to keep information confidential and secure. Another Act created to protect children is the Children’s Internet Protection Act, 2000. “The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was enacted by Congress in 2000 to address concerns about children’s access to obscene or harmful content over the Internet. CIPA...

Practitioners needs to see what the child need to do for the next step, what are the interests of the child, how the child is doing, and what he or she does not like or like to do. Also to identify the stage of the development of the child. Planning in the early years is about meeting young children’s needs so that they can play and learn happily in ways, which will help them, develop their skills and knowledge. Good planning is the important point to make children's learning effective, exciting, varied and allows the practitioners to build up knowledge about how individual children learn and make improvement. It also offers opportunities for practitioners to think and talk about how to stand a successful learning environment. The practitioners that who is the only worker in a room with many children will benefit from opportunities to discuss their plans with others working in similar settings. Professionals to consider prepare and organise a suitable environment and materials for children’s play, development and learning use planning.

... The development of a system by which to lead our adult lives is difficult for all children, but especially for African American children. In addition to defining their personal character, they must define themselves in terms of their culture and nationality – African American and American. One of the ways in which black children create their self-identity is through the illustrations they see in the literature they are exposed to. We look to African American children’s books to help promote self-esteem, cultural identity, and pride for African American children. As books are read to them, children concentrate on the images, and become subject to the impressions these images create. Children’s books that are authentic to African American culture, physicality and intelligence are few and far between. With consideration to our theme, “Black Literary Contemplations on Thomas Jefferson and Western Enlightenment Ideologies of Race and Humanity” and Thomas Jefferson’s Query XIV, it is my belief that the images in children’s literature are important to development of self- identity and esteem in African American children. In Query XIV, in his comparison of whites and blacks, Thomas Jefferson commented on the beauty of whites and blacks, and critiqued blacks because of their “immovable veil of black” and lack of flowing hair. He then stated that black men favored white women over black women as “uniformly as is the preference of Oran-ootans for the black women over those of their...

... Wrtg 1010-20 Using the Genre of a children’s story to articulate with monsters In Gordimers story “Once upon a time” uses the genre of a children’s story to articulate monsters in a suburban family by using the theme of a fairytale that clashes with the theme of a childrens story so he can use “monsters” in a suburban family. Gordimer uses phrases that kind of gives him the excuse to go in and articulate the monsters into the genre of a children’s story. Gordimer knew how to put everything in place to make it be called a “children’s story” Also, she the setting of the story in a good neighborhood, just people trying to be safe and you could kind of tell reading into the story a little disaster is coming, it is nothing brutal but it works for a children’s story type of theme. A fairy tale genre always ends up kind of automatically clashing with children’s stories. Gordimer is using a fairytale by saying in “For when they began to live happily ever after they where warned by that wise old witch, the husbands mother, not to take anyone of the street” This sentence right here is kind of what you get out of a fairytale genre and a children’s story genre. When they mention “happily ever after” You usually hear that phrase all the time in childrens stories or children type of things. For example: when you are watching a disney movie, which is a children’s story theme/fairytale theme, you hear them say at the end of every movie with either...

...CLB 9003 Cross-cultural Studies of Children's Fantasy Literature (1st Term, 2013-14) Term Paper “Compare children’s images in Western and Chinese children’s fantasy literature” Name : So Lok Ching Student ID :4028177 Instructor : Dr Tong Man The development of Western and Chinese children’s fantasy literature varies a lot. Western children’s fantasy literature has a much earlier development process. In Ancient Greece and Rome, there was no distinction between children and adult’s literature, children and adults shared the same literature. Until the 18th century, a remarkable French philosopher, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, believed that every child has a unique value and children should not be seen as immature adults. He also emphasized the importance of moral development in his writing ‘Emile’, in which he believed it could be performed by living a simple life. Rousseau’s ideas had a major influence on the development of children’s literature. People raised awareness about children and children’s fantasy literature was flourishing in the 19th century. In this Golden Age, different varieties of children’s fantasy literature were written to entertain children, such as modern fantasy stories and adventure stories. The naughty image of children could be shown in many adventure stories as well, such as ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ (1876) by Mark Twain and ‘The Adventures of Pinocchio’ (1883) by Carlo Collodi. Up to the 20th century and recent decades, Naughty main...

...possible to access information at home but also encourage teenagers and younger children to participate in gathering information via the Internet. Access to the web by children led to the enactment of laws such as the Children Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). These acts were implemented as a security method to aid in the protection of minors. Some websites containing nudity, online pornography, and other explicit content are banned from exploiting children. Children are viewed as easy victims to trick into providing private information or soliciting monetary compensation for obscene content. Because of this perception, additional laws are necessary to protect children when in comes to information technology. CIPA places restrictions on schools and libraries such as limiting the support of federal funding if certain requirements are not adhered. This act was signed by former President Bill Clinton in December 21, 2000. The design of CIPA is to protect children while using internet websites. Libraries and schools are required to implement filters that will eliminate or attempt to eliminate objectionable material from website possibly viewed by children (Children’s Internet Protections Act (CIPA) to Affect Libraries and the Online Community, 2001). Schools and libraries are eligible for discounts on purchasing...

...child’s life. I will show substantial evidence as well as examples that support play as an integral part of early learning along with describing two examples that utilize play as an instructional strategy. Intuitively all early childhood teachers know that play is an integral part of young children’s lives, and that being able to play, both alone and with others, is a hallmark of children’s healthy development. We also understand that play enhances children’s physical, social and emotional, and creative growth, and we daily assess this growth by observing children at play. We observe individual children engaged in different types of play at different times, and we quickly notice that their play becomes more complex and more social as the year progresses. We are able to assess children’s growing abilities to direct their own play, to make decisions about materials and props, and to assert their own ideas and opinions about what they want to play. As children begin to play interactively, we see growth in their abilities to follow the rules of a game, to take turns, to share materials, and to begin to cooperatively solve problems that emerge during the play. By taking a closer look at children’s play, we see that it does more than stimulate physical, social-emotional, and creative development. Play is also the primary means by which children explore the world, investigate, and build an understanding about how the world works. For example, imagine a small group of children playing...
