Emotions in Education Generated by Migration
This paper presents the subject of school-age immigrants that have become part of the public agenda in Mx̌ico. This can be noted in the international undocumented immigration which creates a reorganization of the family bonds between parents and children; specifically, a physical and emotional vulnerability can appear with the absences, the problems and the conflicts that affect the family dynamic. The object of this qualitative study is to explain the emotional vulnerability of the immigrants from Sauz, Hidalgo, Mexico. A questionnaire was used to determine the population's socio economic situation; as well as a semi structured interview. Some of the couple's results are: sadness, rage, and fear as recurring emotions associated with the uncertainty of their marriage relationship, besides this reality being visible, the impact of the downsizing of family income is also shown.

Corporate Social Performance: A Stakeholder Approach
Corporate social performance has come of age. In a business environment characterized by its perpetual state of flux, the ability to recognize and react to global forces becomes paramount. The fallout of such rapid change - the fast-paced developments in communications and technology, the continual change to global markets, shifting demographics, the homogenization of personal values - have all contributed to the widespread new interest in issues such as ecology and environment, human rights and diversity, health and well-being, and communities. All of these issues are now potential liabilities for companies, and are very much back on the agenda for business. Once regarded as peripheral mana...
