“Women should be permitted to volunteer for non-combat service... We have no real way of knowing whether the kinds of training that teach men both courage and restraint would be adaptable to women or effective in a crisis. But the evidence of history and comparative studies of other species suggest that women as a fighting body might be far less amenable to the rules that prevent war from becoming a massacre and, with the use of modern weapons, that protect the survival of all humanity. That is what I meant by saying that women in combat might be too fierce.” MenWayShouldKindWarRealUseBodyMightWould BeHumanityFightingTeachKnowingStudyModernBecomingProtectWeaponsSurvivalTrainingEvidenceCrisisSpeciesCombatFierceVolunteerRestraintMassacresAdaptableAmenableWomen In Combat Author:Margaret Mead

“My first fundamental premise of our faith is that God is real and so are eternal truths and values not provable by current scientific methods. These ideas are inevitably linked. Like other believers, we proclaim the existence of the ultimate lawgiver, God our Eternal Father, and the existence of moral absolutes. We reject the moral relativism that is becoming the unofficial creed of much of modern culture.” FirstsIdeasRealValuesCultureFatherExistenceMoralModernBecomingEternalUltimateAbsolutesMethodFundamentalsCurrentsBelieverRejectsCreedsLinkedPremisesScientific MethodRelativismAbsolutismModern CultureMoral RelativismGod Is Real Author:Dallin H.

“The modern susceptibility to conformity and obedience to authority indicates that the truth endorsed by authority is likely to be accepted as such by a majority of people, who are innately obedient to authority. This obedience-truth will then become a consensus-truth accepted by many individuals unable to stand alone against the majority. In this way, the truth promulgated by the propaganda system - however irrational - stands a good chance of becoming the consensus, and may come to seem self-evident common sense.” PeopleWayMaySelfSeemsIndividualChanceCommonModernBecomingAuthorityMajorityAcceptedCommon SenseObediencePropagandaConformityIrrationalEvidentConsensusObedientStand AloneGood ChanceSusceptibilityObedience To Authority Author:David Edward
