“I really believe, in my heart and soul, that if we would rebuild and strengthen the family structure in the country, you'd start to really deal with a number of the most difficult problems we're having in the country today, in poverty, education, and in crime, but we've broken the family structure up.” IfsBelieveHeartSoulCountryProblemTodayDifficultDealsNumbersPovertyCrimeBrokenMy HeartStructureHeart And SoulDifficult Problems Author:Sam Brownback
“Hollywood is a strange place. The class structure here is more rigid than almost anyplace I've ever experienced. It's made more difficult by the fact that it's constantly changing. You never know what class you belong to unless you're one of the two or three people that have been in the same echelon for a long, long time.” PeopleKnowsLongHas BeensMadeTwoFactsThreeDifficultClassStrangeLong TimeHollywoodStructureStrange Places Author:Alan Arkin
“Soul one might say is more imperfectly infinite than spirit, because soul tends to abolish the ego-consciousness that it absorbs or overwhelms, reducing its particularizing structure to pure sublime feeling (immediacy); but spirit is more successfully infinite than soul, even though also more difficult and abstruse, because it digests the functions of consciousness into itself and thus preserves and deploys the senses and intelligence of conscious ego to higher ends.” SoulEndsFeelingsMightSpiritDifficultConsciousnessHigherPureEgoConsciousFunctionInfiniteStructureSensesPreservesSublimeReducingAbolishImmediacy Author:Kenny Smith

Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.” FeelsDoeSchoolForceSocialParentDifficultCommunityClassEnvironmentDemandApproachNegativeInstitutionsStructureContactAliensAgencyMinoritiesOverwhelmingEntitledDominantNormHostileInitialsDisagreementNegotiatingSocial ServiceLower Class Author:Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot
“People are really beginning to see the mechanisms of imperialism. When colonialism existed people could see colonialism. When racial segregation existed in its apartheid form, people could see the "whites only" signs. But it's much more difficult to see the structures of neo-imperialism, neo-colonialism, neo-slavery.” PeopleFormDifficultSlaveryStructureMechanismColonialismImperialismSegregationApartheidRacial Segregation Author:Assata Shakur
