“Although a government study found that men's health was much worse than women's health or the health of any minority group, headlines around the country read: 'Minorities Face Large Health Care Gap.' They did not say: 'Men Face Large Health Care Gap.' Why? Because we associate the sacrifice of men's lives with the saving of the rest of us, and this association leads us to carry in our unconscious an incentive not to care about men living longer.” MenCountryGovernmentCareFacesFoundStudySacrificeGroupsSavingHealth CareUnconsciousMinoritiesGapsAssociationAssociatesIncentivesHeadlinesMinority GroupsWomen's Health Author:Warren Farrell
“Regardless of the extent to which the media promote "politically correct," but scientifically wrong, resolutions from professional societies such as the American Anthropological Association, facts remain facts and require appropriate scientific, not political or ideological, explanation. None of this should be construed as meaning that environmental factors play no part in individual and group differences. But with each passing year and each new study, the evidence for the genetic contribution to these differences becomes more firmly established than ever.” ShouldYearsPlayFactsPoliticalIndividualDifferencesStudyGroupsMediaEvidenceEnvironmentalPassingPassingsFactorsExplanationContributionAppropriateResolutionAssociationIdeologicalPolitically CorrectEnvironmental Factors Author:J.

“The truth is that family values, as used by the American Family Association, Dan Quayle, and the southern Baptists, has nothing to do with either family or values, nor does it really have anything to do with homosexuals, abortionists, or pornographers. Those groups actually only serve as windmills to tilt at. The true agenda is power - power over the intellectually weak, emotionally immature, and ethically deficient Americans who are incapable of critical thinking and independent decision-making, and who are easily manipulated by the basest of human emotions - fear and the desire for revenge.” ThinkingHumansDoeUsedDesireValuesDecisionEmotionGroupsAtheismTruth IsWeakIndependentCriticalPositive AtheismRevengeAgendasDecision MakingSouthernAssociationIncapableHomosexualCritical ThinkingBaptistsImmatureFamily ValuesHuman EmotionsAmerican FamilyTiltWindmillsSouthern Baptist Author:Morris Sullivan
“The family is both a biological and a cultural group. It is biologic in sense that it is the best arrangement for begetting children and protecting them while they are dependent. It is a cultural group because it brings into intimate association persons of different age and sex who renew and reshape the folkways of the society into which they are born. The household serves as a "cultural workshop" for the transmission of old traditions and for the creation of new social values.” ChildrenPersonsDifferentAgeValuesSocialSexBornGroupsCreationTraditionIntimateDependentAssociationHouseholdArrangementsWorkshopsTransmissionSocial ValuesDifferent AgesOld TraditionsFolkways Author:Arnold Gesell
