“The truth is even though we sort of feel like we have equal rights in America, right under the surface we have huge issues at play that really do affect women. It's time for all the women in America and all the women that love women and all the gay people and the people of color that we've all fought for to fight for us now.” PeopleMenFeelsPlayAmericaFightingIssuesRightsColorHe ManHugeTruth IsGayEqualSurfaceEqual RightsGay PeopleRights In America Author:Patricia Arquette
“It is the political task of the social scientist — as of any liberal educator — continually to translate personal troubles into public issues, and public issues into the terms of their human meaning for a variety of individuals. It is his task to display in his work — and, as an educator, in his life as well — this kind of sociological imagination. And it is his purpose to cultivate such habits of mind among the men and women who are publicly exposed to him. To secure these ends is to secure reason and individuality, and to make these the predominant values of a democratic society.” MenMindHumansWellsKindEndsReasonPoliticalPurposeValuesIndividualSocialTermImaginationIssuesTroubleHe ManHabitMen And WomenTasksScientistDemocraticIndividualitySecureVarietyExposedDisplayTranslateEducatorDemocratic SocietySociologicalHabits Of Mind Book:The Sociological Imagination Source: The Sociological Imagination
“We come humbly to say to the men in the forefront of our government that the civil rights issue is not an Ephemeral, evanescent domestic issue that can be kicked about by reactionary guardians of the status quo; it is rather an eternal moral issue which may well determine the destiny of our nation in the ideological struggle with communism. The hour is late. The clock of destiny is ticking out. We must act now, before it is too late.” MenWellsMayGovernmentNationsHoursMoralDestinyStruggleIssuesRightsHe ManEternalLateDetermineCivil RightsCommunismClockToo LateStatus QuoGuardianIdeologicalEphemeralReactionariesMoral Issues Author:Martin Luther King, Jr.
“War is the sure result of the existence of armed men. That country which maintains a large standing army will sooner or later have a war.

“During the Second War, the U.S.O. sent special issues of the principal American magazines to the Armed Forces, with the ads omitted. The men insisted on having the ads back again. Naturally. The ads are by far the best part of any magazine or newspaper. More pains and thought, more wit and art go into the making of an ad than into any prose feature of press or magazine. Ads are news. What is wrong with them is that they are always good news.” MenArtWarPainForceIssuesSpecialHe ManNewsPressesWitNewspapersMagazinesFeaturesProseAdsPrincipalGood NewsBack AgainArmed Forces Author:Marshall McLuhan
“It is a great mistake for presidents and other leading executives of organizations having branches throughout the country to chain themselves to their desks at headquarters and send out rigid instructions to those in charge of distant branches and offices. Because a man sits in a palatial office in New York or Chicago or Philadelphia or Detroit and draws a big salary, it does not necessarily follow that he knows better than the man on the spot what ought to be done.... Paul, Caesar, Napoleon did not merely sit at home and issue long-range instructions.” KnowsMenLongDoeCountryDoneHomeBigsPresidentMistakeIssuesNew YorkHe ManOughtOfficeDrawsOrganizationSpotsChainsRangeBranchesExecutivesChicagoInstructionDesksSalaryDetroitPhiladelphiaGreat MistakesHeadquarters Author:B.
