“Self-deport? What the heck does that mean? I have no doubt Hispanics have been alienated during this campaign. But now there's an opportunity for Gov. Romney to have a sincere conversation about what we can do and why. I absolutely advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. Republicans want to be tough and say, 'Illegals, you're gone.' But the answer is a lot more complex than that.” WantMeanDoeHas BeensSelfOpportunityCan DoAnswersGoneDoubtRepublicanConversationToughComplexesCampaignsImmigrationReformNo DoubtSincereRomneyComprehensiveImmigration Reform Author:Susana Martinez

“Technically speaking, since our complex societies are highly susceptible to interferences and accidents,they certainly offer ideal opportunities for a prompt disruption of normal activities. These disruptions can, with minimum expense, have considerably destructive consequences. Global terrorism is extreme both in its lack of realistic goals and in its cynical exploitation of the vulnerability of complex systems.” OpportunityGoalOffersActivityNormalConsequenceIdealsComplexesExtremesTerrorismAccidentsVulnerabilityDestructiveExpensesRealisticCynicalExploitationMinimumInterferenceDisruptionPromptsSusceptibleComplex SystemsRealistic Goals Author:Jurgen Habermas
“It should be clear by now that a nation can be no stronger abroad than she is at home. Only an America which practices what it preaches about equal rights and social justice will be respected by those whose choice affects our future. Only an America which has fully educated its citizens is fully capable of tackling the complex problems and perceiving the hidden dangers of the world in which we live. And only an America which is growing and prospering economically can sustain the worldwide defenses of freedom, while demonstrating to all concerned the opportunities of our system and society.” WorldShouldProblemHomeAmericaChoicesOpportunityNationsSocialJusticePracticeClearGrowingRightsDangerCitizensEqualCapableConcernedStrongerSocial JusticeComplexesDefenseEducatedOur FutureEqual RightsDemonstratingTacklingComplex ProblemsProspering Author:John F.

“What serialized cable dramas have given us is the opportunity to not simply tell the same story with slightly different words and different costumes, every week. people are really mining the ability of storytellers to tell a long form story that goes from A to Z, and to trust that an audience will follow that. If they miss it, over the course of the week, they can watch it online or buy the DVD. There are so many different ways of interacting with it. Storytelling in television is getting more complex and more nuanced.” PeopleIfsWayLongDifferentStoriesFormCoursesOpportunityGivenAbilityWatchesAudienceWeekMissingTelevisionDramaComplexesStorytellingDifferent WaysOnlineStorytellerCostumesCablesDvdsInteractingMining Author:Sarah Wayne Callies
“In novels you're able to occupy character's internal thoughts and it's really hard to do in a film or a TV show. When you're reading a character's thoughts or when it's in first person, you're reading kind of their own story, so you have the opportunity to see what makes that character complex or complicated. And to me that's what the whole point of fiction is.” FirstsKindPersonsHardWholeCharacterStoriesShowsAbleFilmReadingOpportunityFictionNovelTvsComplexesComplicatedInternalsTv ShowsFirst Person Author:Joe Meno
