“The old process of social assimilation used to be mainly about English new money - generated in London, the mucky, brassy North or the colonies - buying those houses and restoring them, and doing the three-generation thing, mouldering into the landscape, and the 'community,' identifying with the place in a familiar way.” WayUsedThreeHouseSocialProcessCommunityGenerationsLondonFamiliarUsed To BeLandscapeBuyingColonyAssimilationIdentifyingRestoringThree Generations Author:Peter York
“My generation was, in effect, the product of a social experiment. If we did not understand marital intimacy, it was because we had not seen it modelled.

“Literature is at once the cause and the effect of social progress. It deepens our natural sensibilities, and strengthens by exercise our intellectual capacities.

“All civilization in a sense exists only in the mind. Gunpowder, textile arts, machinery, laws, telephones are not themselves transmitted from man to man or from generation to generation, at least not permanently. It is the perception, the knowledge and understanding of them, their ideas in the Platonic sense, that are passed along.

“Incrementalism: In the first generation, the goal of the movement was wholesale social and cultural transformation. Small, incremental victories were too little given the magnitude of America's moral decay. Since 1988, the new leaders have recognized that incrementalism is the surest path to success in political competition. The current movement is committed to securing small victories now, postponing for the long-term more fundamental changes in society and politics.” FirstsLittlesLongAmericaPoliticalGivenSocialGoalTermLeaderMoralPathGenerationsAtheismMovementVictoryTransformationFundamentalsCompetitionCurrentsCommittedPositive AtheismLong TermDecayMagnitudeWholesalePostponingPath To SuccessSmall VictoriesChanges In SocietyMoral DecayIncrementalism Author:Kenneth D.
