“I have never on the field of battle sent you where I was unwilling to go myself, nor would I now advise you to a course which I felt myself unwilling to pursue. You have been good soldiers. You can be good citizens. Obey the laws, preserve your honor, and the government to which you have surrendered can afford to be and will be magnanimous.” Has BeensWarGovernmentLawCoursesFeltFieldsCitizensHonorBattleSoldierBe GoodPursuePreservesCivil WarAdviseUnwillingGood CitizenYour HonorMagnanimousGood Soldiers Author:Nathan Bedford Forrest
“In almost every professional field, in business and in the arts and sciences, women are still treated as second-class citizens. It would be a great service to tell girls who plan to work in society to expect this subtle, uncomfortable discrimination-tell them not to be quiet, and hope it will go away, but fight it. A girl should not expect special privileges because of her sex, but neither should she "adjust" to prejudice and discrimination.” ShouldArtStillsWould BeGirlFightingSexClassPlansSpecialFieldsCitizensQuietPrejudicePrivilegeDiscriminationTreatedUncomfortableSubtleGoing AwayArt And ScienceGreat ServiceSecond Class CitizensFeminine MystiqueTell A Girl Author:Betty Friedan
“Environmentally, business in America in 1970 was very similar to business in China today. Even if a CEO wanted to be a responsible corporate citizen, he (and they were all "he's" then) simply couldn't invest a billion dollars in pollution controls to produce a product that was indistinguishable from those of his competitors. His products would be priced out of the market. Passing laws that created a clean, level playing field for whole industries had to be a core focus of the 1970s.” IfsWholeWould BeTodayWantedAmericaLawLevelsFocusFieldsProduceProductsIndustryCitizensResponsibleDollarsCleanChinaBillionsCorePassingPassingsCorporatePollutionCeoCompetitorsPlaying FieldsLevel Playing FieldPollution ControlPassing Laws Author:Denis Hayes
“The nature of the state is one thing, but there are other major challenges - what it will take to tackle the issues of social corruption, for example, social justice, and the economic system - and what are the future challenges when it comes to equality between the citizens, in particular in the field of the job market and equal opportunity for men and for women? This is at the centre of the question that is the Arab Awakening.” MenStatesJobsOpportunitySocialChallengesJusticeIssuesOne ThingEconomicExampleFieldsParticularCitizensEqualMajorsSocial JusticeCorruptionAwakeningCentreEconomic SystemsEqual Opportunity Author:Tariq Ramadan
“The right tends to posit that the market fuels social good. The left tends to posit that the government fuels social good. At bottom, democracy claims that citizens drive social good, but there is currently no container for a political force-field that stakes claim to the unbelievable resources now virtually untapped in every man, woman, and child in our society.” MenChildrenGovernmentPoliticalLeftForceSocialDemocracyFieldsCitizensResourcesClaimsBottomEvery ManFuelOur SocietyStakesUnbelievableMen WomenContainersSocial GoodForce Fields Author:Marianne Williamson
“The work of an intellectual is not to mould the political will of others; it is, through the analyses that he does in his own field, to re-examine evidence and assumptions, to shake up habitual ways of working and thinking, to dissipate conventional familiarities, to re-evaluate rules and institutions and to participate in the formation of a political will (where he has his role as citizen to play).” ThinkingWayDoePlayPoliticalRolesFieldsCitizensIntellectualEvidenceIntelligentInstitutionsAnalysisAssumptionShakesConventionalFamiliarityFormationEvaluateHabitualMouldPolitical Will Author:Michel Foucault
