“I feel like a lot of the singer-songwriters in my genre and in my generation have gotten more and more snooty about covering other people's songs. They believe that creativity is the intersect of expression.” PeopleFeelsBelieveSongCreativityGenerationsExpressionSingersGenreSongwritersCoveringMy GenerationSinger Songwriters Author:Brandi Carlile
“Some crafts have been practiced for centuries. These crafts were created using skills passed from generation to generation, and were motivated by necessity such as baskets and pottery, or artistic expression, such as more baskets and more pottery. Today, there is a much more leisurely attitude toward crafting, and virtually anyone without a job and access to pipe cleaners can join the elite society of crafters.” Has BeensTodayJobsAttitudeGenerationsCenturyExpressionSkillsAccessCraftsArtisticMotivatedElitesHobbiesPipeBasketsCleanersPotteryArtistic ExpressionCrafters Author:Amy Sedaris

“Computer and video games represent one of the most important new media developments of this generation. Unlike many other forms of entertainment they offer players the opportunity to explore, be creative, learn through interaction and express themselves to others. It is vitally important that we protect and nurture this new art form so that it can reach its full potential. Like most new forms of artistic expression that have come before (music, novels, movies), the primary critics of video games are the people that do not play them.” PeopleArtImportantPlayFormOpportunityGamesNovelCreativePlayerGenerationsMediaExpressionDevelopmentOffersProtectComputerCriticsEntertainmentVideoArtisticPrimariesInteractionNurtureBe CreativeNurturingThis GenerationFull PotentialArtistic ExpressionNew Media Author:Will Wright

“You go to a lot of small communities in rural Alberta and you'll find a degree of diversity that probably hasn't existed in terms of immigration for a century - you'll find the Filipino grocery store, and the African Pentecostal church and maybe a mosque. Albertans are pro-immigration; they're also pro-integration. In my years in this province I cannot recall more than a handful of expressions of xenophobia or nativism that I've encountered. It's the land of new beginnings and fresh starts - it is rare Albertans who trace their roots here back more than a generation or two.” YearsTwoTermCommunityChurchGenerationsLandCenturyExpressionDegreesDiversityRootsStoresImmigrationRecallsIntegrationNew BeginningsHandfulGroceriesProvincesXenophobiaFresh StartGrocery StoresMosquesFilipinoSmall CommunitiesAlbertaPentecostal Author:Jason Kenney
“I did not say that language as a completed system emerged in an individual in an instant. But I cannot think of a coherent alternative to the idea that mutations take place in individuals, not communities, so that whatever rewiring of the brain yielded the apparently unique properties of language, specifically recursive generation of hierarchically structured expressions, would therefore have taken place in an individual, and only later been used among individuals who had inherited this capacity.” ThinkingIdeasUsedIndividualLanguageCommunityBrainTakenGenerationsExpressionUniqueCapacityPropertyAlternativesInstantMutation Author:Noam Chomsky

“The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.” IfsHumansWellsStillsEvilOpportunityLosesRaceOpinionGenerationsExpressionBenefitsPerceptionErrorsImpressionHuman RacePeculiarCensorshipFree SpeechFreedom Of SpeechDeprivedPosterityDissentFreedom Of ExpressionCollisionRobbingExchangingFree ExpressionSilencingLimiting Freedom Of ExpressionFreedom Of Speech And Expression Book:The Classical Utilitarians: Bentham and Mill Source: The Classical Utilitarians: Bentham and Mill
