“It ought to concern every person, because it is a debasement of our common humanity. It ought to concern every community, because it tears at our social fabric. It ought to concern every business, because it distorts markets. It ought to concern every nation, because it endangers public health and fuels violence and organized crime. I’m talking about the injustice, the outrage, of human trafficking, which must be called by its true name - modern slavery.” HumansPersonsHumanityNamesNationsSocialCommunityCommonTalkingViolenceModernCrimeTearsOughtConcernSlaveryInjusticeOrganizedFuelFabricOutragePublic HealthHuman TraffickingTraffickingOrganized CrimeCommon HumanityModern Slavery Author:Barack Obama
“One of the greatest disasters that happened to modern civilization was for democracy to inscribe "liberty" on its banners instead of "justice." Because "liberty" was considered the ideal it was not long until some men interpreted it as meaning "freedom from justice"; then when religion and decent government attempted to bring them back to justice, organized into "freedom groups" they protested that their constitutional and natural rights were being violated.” MenLongWisdomGovernmentPoliticsNaturalJusticeLibertyEconomyDemocracyRightsHappenedGroupsModernCivilizationIdealsDisasterOrganizedDecentLiberalismBannerNatural RightsModern Civilization Author:Fulton J.

“The essence of modernity is that progress no longer waits on genius; instead we have learned to put our faith in the organized efforts of ordinary men. Science is as old as the race, but the effective organization of science is new. Ancient science, like placer mining, was a pursuit of solitary prospectors. Nuggets of truth were found, but the total wealth of knowledge increased slowly. Modern man began to transform this world when he began to mine the hidden veins of knowledge systematically.” MenWorldFaithFoundWaitingWealthEffortRaceProgressModernThis WorldMinesGeniusOrdinaryEssenceOrganizationAncientPursuitOrganizedSolitaryVeinsModernityMiningOrdinary ManModern ManNuggetsWealth Of Knowledge Author:William Wickenden

“The ’60s was the last time when large groups of people in the West searched for alternative modes of being. In a society like India’s, which is still not fully modern or totally organized, and has a great deal of tolerance for otherness in general, they find the cultural license to try other things, to be whatever they want to be.” PeopleWantTryingLastsDealsGroupsModernIndiaWestToleranceAlternativesOrganizedLast TimeLicenseOthernessLarge Groups Author:Pankaj Mishra
“Modern problems proliferate and remain unsolved because we spend so much time trying to deal with societal and world problems without first dealing with family and community problems. If we organized for normal families and communities - if these two groups provided the functions they are designed for - world problems would diminish and fade out in two or three generations.” IfsWorldTryingFirstsTwoProblemThreeCommunityDealsGenerationsGroupsModernNormalFunctionOrganizedFadesDiminishWorld ProblemsThree GenerationsNormal Family Author:Ralph Borsodi
