“Coca-Cola remains emblematic of the best and worst of America and Western civilization. The history of Coca-Cola is the often funny story of a group of men obsessed with putting a trivial soft drink "within an arm's reach of desire." But at the same time, it is a microcosm of American history. Coca-Cola grew up with the country, shaping and shaped by the times. The drink not only helped to alter consumption patterns, but attitudes toward leisure, work, advertising, sex, family life, and patriotism.” MenCountryStoriesAmericaDesireSexAttitudeGroupsWorstArmsGrewDrinkCivilizationGrew UpRemainsWesternPatternsAdvertisingObsessedLeisureAmerican HistoryConsumptionFamily LifeWestern CivilizationMicrocosmCoca ColaFunny StorySoft Drinks Author:Mark Pendergrast

“Normal children of both sexes and all cultures will follow a more or less standard and universal developmental pattern and timetable, and reach approximately the same level of development at maturity.

“No skill, no special aptitude, no vividness of imagination or precision of thinking would go unrecognized because the child who possessed it was of one sex rather than the other. No child would be relentlessly shaped to one pattern of behavior, but instead there should be many patterns, in a world that had learned to allow to each individual the pattern which was most congenial to his gifts.” ThinkingWorldShouldChildrenWould BeIndividualSexImaginationSpecialSkillsBehaviorPatternsPossessedPrecisionVividness Author:Margaret Mead
“Equal pay for equal work continues to be seen as applying to equal pay for men and women in the same occupation, while the larger point of continuing relevance in our day is that some occupations have depressed wages because women are the chief employee. The former is a pattern of sex discrimination, the latter of institutionalized sexism.” MenSexPayEqualMen And WomenPatternsDiscriminationChiefsFormerEmployeeLatterOccupationSexismContinuingWagesRelevanceEqual PaySex Discrimination Book:The Feminist Papers: From Adams to de Beauvoir Source: The Feminist Papers: From Adams to de Beauvoir
