1.) Stakeholders
Children: If childrens' parents work then they would be affected the most. Whether it be they get into more trouble, or they just miss out in spending time with their parents.
Parents: They have the responsibility to work and give their children quality attention and provide them with all the need, food, shelter, love, etc.
Schools: Depending on the child's situation or area, schools may provide before and after school activities.
Extended family members: May have to babysit or take care of children on a regular basis, or when help is needed.
Friends: Children may see too much of friends or not enough due to their parent's work schedule
Childcare: Childcare facilities are in business due to working parents.
Neighborhoods: If children are left alone during the day, neighborhoods could potentially be affected negatively.
2.) Research
- American Academy of Pediatrics
- Pros of two working parents
- less financial stress
- more equality in the home
- Washington Post
- Rick Santorum
- This is a result, he wrote, of “radical feminism’s misogynistic crusade to make working outside the home the only marker of social value and self-respect.’’
- He believes that most women work outside the home to find personal enjoyment and fulfillment
- He doesn't believe that this is morally right
- Me
- I hope that the reason that both parents are working outside of the home is due to need.
- Having children is a selfless act, but it doesn't stop there
- It makes me sad that parents can't find joy or fulfillment being stay-at-home.
3.) Coversation
--At the dinner party about stay-at-home and working parents i'm sure there would be plenty of arguments. Certain people on both sides have very strong opinions. Honestly, no one wants to be told that what they are doing is wrong, or unneccessary. The people might talk about ways to collaborate together in helping the children in their communities. Hopefully the people would go into the conversation not with the attitude of changing the other party, but helping them and do whatever is best for the children.
Alex Chandler: Employers and the parents them self, I believe, are also stakeholders. They both have a say about working, being able to maintain employees, keeping enough money to make payments on loans, and whatever. They all have a little input to put in.
ReplyDeleteI think another major stakeholder you should take a look at is outside resources for parents, such as the YMCA and The Boys and Girls Clubs. These are just two organizations that play a major role in the working parents life and childcare because they offer parents another resource for their children. This issue is important to them because it’s a business for them but it’s also a place for kids of working parents to be in a safe environment. I think the stakeholders you have are adequate but I think adding these would help to diversify you range of stakeholders a little more. Hopefully this idea helps. =)
