Retrieved [date] from http://www.colorado.edu/journals/cye. Abstract Disasters affect segments of the population in different ways. Although age-based vulnerabilities place children at risk, children may offer unique capacities for bolstering disaster resilience. This paper reviews three initiatives that focus on children and disasters, including a Sesame Workshop-produced video aimed at pre- school children, an American Red Cross initiative that focuses on children in kindergarten through middle school, and a video directed at high school students as part of a student-generated initiative at a Seattle school. The authors use a matrix developed by Anderson and Woodrow (1989) to assess the extent to which these initiatives emphasize youth-based vulnerabilities and capacities with respect to physical/material, social/organizational, and

  • Art – Reflexiones Acerca De La Gestión De La Calidad En
    Alfonso SÁNCHEZ-TABERNERO Reflexiones sobre la gestión de la calidad en empresas de comunicación Al acabar la segunda guerra mundial, Japón había sufrido tal vez la mayor humillación de su historia; su rendición y posterior sometimiento a los aliados implicó la pérdida del liderazgo militar. Como recordaban los viejos samurais, la valentía, la lealtad y el honor eran las virtudes más admiradas en el imperio del sol naciente. La derrota milit ar podía hacer dudar de la valentía y de la lealtad de los japoneses, y sobre todo constituía una dolorosa afrenta a su honor. A partir de 1945, Japón comprendió que, cerradas las puertas a su expansión en Asia, su liderazgo debería concentrarse en el ámbi to comercial. Su cultura, con una fuerte influencia de la filosofía de Confucio, era particularmente apropiada para ese propósito. El confucianismo defiende la necesidad de guardar lealtad al Estado y al emperador, y de respetar a los mayores y las tradici ones familiares; destaca la importancia de la educación [1] , del sentido de la disciplina y de la planificación; y critica el individualismo. Estos principios configuraban un sustrajo social y cultural que encajaba correctamente en el tejido económico de los mercados más desarrollados: las empresas vivían procesos de cambio, de mayor internacionalización y de creciente complejidad. En esos años de posguerra, Estados Unidos disponía de muchas ventajas para consolidar su hegemonía económica: su liderazgo militar era incuestionable, así como su estabilidad política; poseía el mayor mercado interno; las principales multinac ionales del mundo eran de capital americano; el sistema político, económico y cultural sentaba las bases del "sueño americano": igualdad de oportunidades, apoyo a los emprendedores, y promoción del prestigio social de los que se arriesgan, trabajan y triunfan.
