“Teen girls are figuring out what they want out of life and who they want to be. They are becoming more and more independent, and are starting to make decisions that will affect them now and into the future. Combine this new responsibility with all the stress and pressures in their lives and the result, unfortunately, can be substance abuse.” WantGirlDecisionResultsResponsibilityBecomingAbuseStressPressureIndependentStartingSubstanceBecoming MoreSubstance Abuse Author:Atoosa Rubenstein
“An intelligent couple can read their Darwin and know that the ultimate reason for their sexual urges is procreation. They know that the woman cannot conceive because she is on the pill. Yet they find that their sexual desire is in no way diminished by the knowledge. Sexual desire is sexual desire and its force, in an individual's psychology, is independent of the ultimate Darwinian pressure that drove it. It is a strong urge which exists independently of its ultimate rationale.” KnowsWayReasonDesireIndividualStrongForcePsychologyCoupleUltimatePressureIntelligentIndependentUrgesPillsProcreationRationaleSexual Desire Book:The God Delusion Source: The God Delusion
“I do like working on independent films where it is a smaller budget and less pressure. The pace is also quicker than that of a big budget film. You are shooting at a fairly fast pace. Sitting around for three or four days can be quite draining. So I guess in terms of film or television, I would say filming an independent feature.” BigsFilmThreeTermFourTelevisionSittingPressureIndependentShootingBudgetsFeaturesPaceSitting AroundIndependent FilmDraining Author:Colm Meaney

“The Tax Court is independent, and its neutrality is not clouded by prosecuting duties. Its procedures assure fair hearings. Its deliberations are evidenced by careful opinions. All guides to judgment available to judges are habitually consulted and respected. It has established a tradition of freedom from bias and pressures. It deals with a subject that is highly specialized and so complex as to be the despair of judges. It is relatively better staffed for its task than is the judiciary.” DealsOpinionSubjectsJudgingDutyTaxesDespairJudgmentFairsTraditionTasksPressureIndependentCourtComplexesCarefulAvailableHearingGuidesBiasProceduresNeutralityJudiciaryDeliberationCloudedProsecuting Author:Robert H.

“Moves toward sovereignty in Iraq stimulate pressures first for human rights among the bitterly repressed Shi'ite population but also toward some degree of autonomy. You can imagine a kind of a loose Shi'ite alliance in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, controlling most of the world's oil and independent of the United States. And much worse, although Europe can be intimidated by the United States, China can't. It's one of the reasons, the main reasons, why China is considered a threat.

“People tend to assess the relative importance of issues by the ease with which they are retrieved from memory—and this is largely determined by the extent of coverage in the media. Frequently mentioned topics populate the mind even as others slip away from awareness. In turn, what the media choose to report corresponds to their view of what is currently on the public’s mind. It is no accident that authoritarian regimes exert substantial pressure on independent media. Because public interest is most easily aroused by dramatic events and by celebrities, media feeding frenzies are common” PeopleMindTurnsInterestMemoriesViewsCommonIssuesAwarenessMediaEventsImportancePressureIndependentDeterminedAccidentsEaseDramaticReportsRelativeSlipsRegimesTopicsFeedingCoverageFrenzyPublic InterestIndependent Media Author:Daniel Kahneman
