“I am a product of Indian cinema; I've grown up watching Indian films ever since I can remember.

“The function of traditional history is to create a citizenry that looks to the top - the president, Congress, the Supreme Court - to make the important decisions. That's what traditional history is all about: the laws that were passed, the decisions made by the court. So much of history is built around "the great men." All of that is very anti-democratic.” MenLooksMadeImportantLawPresidentDecisionBuiltFunctionCourtDemocraticCongressSupremeTraditionalGreat MenSupreme CourtCitizenryDecisions MadeImportant Decisions Author:Howard Zinn
“During conflicts and tense situations, women often work in a more collaborative way, include a larger variety of viewpoints, and function more frequently outside traditional hierarchical means.

“Traditional sales and marketing involves increasing market shares, which means selling as much of your product as you can to as many customers as possible. One-to-one marketing involves driving for a share of customer, which means ensuring that each individual customer who buys your product buys more product, buys only your brand, and is happy using your product instead of another to solve his problem. The true, current value of any one customer is a function of the customer's future purchases, across all the product lines, brands, and services offered by you.” MeanProblemValuesIndividualLinesShareProductsFunctionMarketingCurrentsSolveCustomersDrivingSellingTraditionalBrands Author:Seth Godin

“There are two pieces of legislation that are related. There's the Communal Land Rights Bill. Then there is the legislation that was approved which has to do with the role and the place and the function of the institution of traditional leadership. Now that legislation, not the Communal Land Rights Bill, provides for the setting up of particular committees that would work together with the elected municipalities.” TwoTogetherRolesPiecesRightsLandParticularFunctionInstitutionsBillsSettingTraditionalSettingsRelatedWorking TogetherCommitteesLegislationApprovedMunicipality Author:Thabo Mbeki
“The question arose, how would the communities manage this land on their own. That's why the Communal Land Rights Bill then borrows an institution that is set up in terms of the role and function and powers of the institutional traditional leadership ( borrows that committee and uses that committee).” UseTermCommunityRolesRightsLandFunctionInstitutionsBillsTraditionalManageCommittees Author:Thabo Mbeki
“I don't know why you should isolate women in this regard. If you have a traditional leader who says 'I am the sole exclusive ruler, I am the autocrat', it will affect everybody in the area, whether they are men or women. The challenge that South Africa faces, and it is not a new challenge, a whole range of African countries have faced this challenge, is that where you have institutional traditional leadership, which in our country is protected by the Constitution, how does that institution function side by side with a democratic system?” IfsKnowsMenShouldDoeCountryWholeFacesSidesChallengesLeaderAreasFunctionConstitutionRegardInstitutionsDemocraticSouthTraditionalOur CountryRangeSoleProtectedRulersSouth AfricaExclusiveNew Challenges Author:Thabo Mbeki

“David Foster Wallace was a brilliant experimentalist who I deeply admire. His ability to do formalism helped me understand how to tackle stories like "Dictionary" and "Failed Revolution." "Dictionary," in particular, functions against narrative in many ways - each of the definitions are their own mini-story or prose poem, and the collection of them adds up to create a different effect than the traditional Freytagian Pyramid story.” WayDifferentStoriesAbilityEffectsParticularRevolutionFunctionAddDefinitionsBrilliantAdmireTraditionalNarrativeProseCollectionsDictionaryPyramids Author:Alexander Weinstein
