“The goals of the feminist movement have not been achieved, and those who claim we're living in a post-feminist era are either sadly mistaken or tired of thinking about the whole subject.” ThinkingWholeGoalFeminismSubjectsMovementClaimsTiredFeministErasPostsMistakenFeminist Movement Book:The edible woman ; Surfacing ; Lady oracle Source: The edible woman ; Surfacing ; Lady oracle
“Our goal in the '70s was to end the closed door era. There were so many things that were off limits to women, policing, firefighting, mining, piloting planes. And the stereotypical view of people of a world divided between home and child caring women and men as breadwinners, men representing the family outside the home.” PeopleMenWorldChildrenEndsHomeGoalViewsDoorsLimitsMen And WomenCaringErasPlanesDividedRepresentingMiningClosed DoorsBreadwinnerFirefighting Author:Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“Each era invents its own child. Over the past 500 years, conceptions of the child changed gradually from an ill-formed adult who must be subjugated to society's goals to a precious being who must be protected from unreasonable social demands. Childhood has come to be seen as a special period of life, rather than as a temporary state of no lasting importance for adulthood.” YearsChildrenStatesPastSocialGoalChangeChildhoodSpecialChangedPeriodsDemandAdultsImportanceIllErasLastingTemporaryConceptionProtectedAdulthoodOver The PastUnreasonable Author:Sandra Scarr
“The development of European integration can be divided into two phases. The first era ended with the Maastricht Treaty. It was a liberalization phase, with the main goal of European integration at the time being the removal of various barriers and borders in Europe. The second phase is a homogenization or standardization phase, one that involves regulation from the top and growing control over our lives. This no longer has anything to do with freedom and democracy.” FirstsTwoGoalDemocracyOur LivesGrowingDevelopmentEuropeVariousErasBordersBarriersDividedRegulationPhasesIntegrationTreatiesRemovalStandardizationEuropean Integration Author:Vaclav Klaus
“A purpose derived from a false premise - that a deity has ordained submission to his will - cannot merit respect. The pursuit of Enlightenment-era goals - solving our world's problems through rational discourse, rather than through religion and tradition - provides ample grounds for a purposive existence. It is not for nothing that the Enlightenment, when atheism truly began to take hold, was also known as the Age of Reason.” WorldReasonProblemAgePurposeGoalExistenceKnownAtheismEnlightenmentTraditionPursuitRationalErasMeritOur WorldDiscourseSubmissionDeitiesPremisesAge Of Reason Author:Jeffrey Tayler
“In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one's parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as "self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.” MenYearsChildrenSelfStatesCharacterChristianLawParentGoalBoysProduceTaughtLessonsIdealsAffectionBe GoodPrimariesErasRepublicTraitsSelf ControlKindredChild RearingFamily ManCharacter TraitKindliness Author:C.
