“I intend to discuss some perplexing issues which are raised once we embrace the hypothesis that society can be deschooled; to search for criteria which may help us distinguish institutions which merit development because they support learning in a deschooled milieu; and to clarify those personal goals which would foster the advent of an Age of Leisure (schole) as opposed to an economy dominated by service industries.” MayHelpingAgeGoalSupportEconomyIssuesDevelopmentIndustryInstitutionsEmbraceRaisedMeritLeisureHypothesisCriteriaAdventScholesMilieuPersonal GoalService Industry Author:Ivan Illich
“I can't imagine where I'd be without the opportunities provided to me in sports. Sports taught me that gender isn't an issue; in fact, when people talk about me being the first female governor, I'm a little absent from that discussion, because I've never thought of gender as an issue. In sports, you learn self-discipline, healthy competition, to be gracious in victory and defeat, and the importance of being part of a team and understanding what part you play on that team. You all work together to reach a goal, and I think all of those factors come into play in my role as governor.” PeopleThinkingFirstsLittlesI CanSelfPlayFactsTogetherOpportunitySportsUnderstandingGoalRolesIssuesImagineTeamTaughtVictoryDisciplineHealthyFemaleImportanceCompetitionDefeatGenderFactorsDiscussionWorking TogetherGovernorsSelf DisciplineAbsentGraciousVictory And DefeatHealthy Competition Author:Sarah Palin
“A lot of my books deal with very controversial issues that most people often don't want to talk about, issues that, in my country, are more likely to get put under the carpet than get discussed. And when you talk about moral conundrums, about shades of gray, what you're doing is asking the people who want the world to be black and white to realize instead that maybe it's all right if it isn't. I know you'll learn something picking up my books, but my goal as a writer is not to teach you but to make you ask more questions.” PeopleIfsKnowsWorldWantBookCountryAsksGoalBlackRealizingWhiteDealsMoralTeachIssuesAskingGrayShadeBlack And WhiteCarpetControversialConundrumsShades Of GrayControversial Issues Author:Steven Tyler
“My take on tithing in America is that it's a middle-class way of robbing God. Tithing to the church and spending the rest on your family is not a Christian goal. It's a diversion. The real issue is: How shall we use God's trust fund-namely, all we have-for His glory? In a world with so much misery, what lifestyle should we call our people to live? What example are we setting?” PeopleWorldWayShouldRealUseChristianAmericaGoalChurchClassIssuesMiddleExampleGloryMiserySpendingLifestyleSettingSettingsOur FamilyMiddle ClassFundStewardshipDiversionRobbingTithingBiblical StewardshipTrust Funds Author:John Piper
