Is it a good idea for babies to be allowed in the work place?

Armour, Stephanie. "More Companies Let Babies Come to Work." USA Today 30 Mar. 2008. SIRS Researcher. SIRS Knowledge Source. Edina High School, Edina. 6 Dec. 2008 http://www.sirs.com.

The journalist, Stephanie Armour, is a journalist for the newspaper, USA Today who doesn’t really seem to have a point of view on the topic of babies coming to work. Even though she isn’t opinionated, she interviews different people that are, and readers able to see all sides of the story. I think this article is intended for anyone who wants to be informed about workplaces but also parents with babies. Having read this article, parents can learn that it could be a possibility to bring their child to work, depending on where they work. This article is about the opinions of brining babies to work and if it is a distraction or a helpful thing.


Sharples, Tiffany. "Bringing Babies to Work." Time 3 Jan. 2008. Business & Tech. 6 Dec. 2008 http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1699879,00.html.

Tiffany Sharples, a writer for Time Magazine, also wrote an article about bringing babies to work. She talks about it becoming more popular and the different viewpoints on it, just like Armour did except Sharples interviews people with different jobs in the workplace and looks at what they say. I think that this article is intended for anyone that works, because it talks about the different opinions and you could be in the same situation as the one of them. Again though, this article is probably also intended for parents of babies and seeing what others really think about babies coming into the workplace. This article is also about bring babies to work and how it is becoming more popular.
