To apologize

Do you find it difficult to apologize when you are wrong?  Would you rather confront the issue or try to sweep it under the rug?

This article talks about how and why to apologize among other things:

Wouldn't it have been better never to commit the transgression at all?  What happens when sorry isn't enough?

This is a podcast I listen to that gave me the idea for this topic:

Let's all try to think of a time when we apologized, how it went, and what was the resolution.  

La mode

Bonjour,

Pour demain nous gardons le thème de la semaine dernière. 

Cordialement

Pour le cours de demain nous aborderons le thème de la mode. Histoire de créateur, histoire de défilé et de mannequin.

Vous nous raconterez une histoire de mode à la mode.

Je vous demande de me pardonner pour cet envoi tardif, la semaine sainte a été très chargée.

Bien à vous.

Homeless people

Hello Everyone,

On my recent trip, I noticed there were many homeless people living on the streets. It has made me think about the issue.

This article talks about a unique situation:

I'd like to talk about this issue and share ideas about what we could do to mitigate the situation.

Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts

This may be a controversial topic- it certainly is in the U.S. where we have both Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts.

First let's talk about the differences between the two organizations:

Recently there has been a policy change:

Were you a scout growing up?  How are the American organizations different from the Spanish one?  Do you agree with the change in policy? 

I think we all may have differing opinions on the matter and I look forward to a respectful conversation about it.
