“Suicide terrorist groups are [not] religious cults isolated from the rest of their society, ... Rather, suicide terrorist organizations often command broad social support within the national communities from which they recruit, because they are seen as pursuing legitimate nationalist goals, especially liberation from foreign occupation.” SocialGoalCommunityReligiousSupportGroupsOrganizationSuicideTerroristCommandLiberationOccupationBroadsIsolatedCultRecruitTerrorist GroupsReligious CultsNational Community Author:Robert Pape
“On the surface the avant garde as a whole seems united primarily in terms of what they are against: the rejection of social institutions and established artistic conventions, or antagonism towards the public (as representative of the existing order). By contrast any positive programme tends to be claimed as exclusive property by isolated and even mutually antagonistic sub-groups. So modern art appears fragmented and sectarian, defined as much by manifestos as imaginative work.” ArtWholeSeemsOrderSocialTermUnitedGroupsModernInstitutionsPropertySurfaceDefinedArtisticRejectionConventionsContrastIsolatedRepresentativesImaginativeExclusiveProgrammesAvant GardeModern ArtFragmentedAntagonismManifestosSocial Institutions Author:C.

“The Western world generally has lost the concept of man as a creature made to the image and likeness of God, and reduced him either to a component part of the universe, to an economic animal or to a "physiological bag filled with psychological libido." Once man became materialized and atomized in Western thinking, it was only natural for a totalitarianism to arise to gather up the fragments into a new totality and substitute the collective man for the individual man who was isolated from all social responsibilities.” ThinkingMenWorldMadeWisdomUniversePoliticsIndividualLostSocialNaturalAnimalResponsibilityEconomyEconomicCreaturesConceptsFilledWesternArisePsychologicalLiberalismBagsCollectivesSubstitutesIsolatedSocial ResponsibilityComponentsFragmentsTotalitarianismTotalityWestern WorldPhysiologicalLibido Author:Fulton J.

“Today age segregation has passed all sane limits. Not only are fifteen-year-olds isolated from seventy-year-olds but social groups divide those in high school from those in junior high, and those who are twenty from those who are twenty-five. There are middle-middle-age groups, late-middle-age groups, and old-age groups - as though people with five years between them could not possibly have anything in common.” PeopleYearsAgeTodaySchoolSocialCommonFiveGroupsMiddleLimitsLateHigh SchoolTwentiesOld AgeFive YearsDividesIsolatedSaneFifteenSeventiesSegregationMiddle AgesJuniorsTwenty FiveFifteen YearsJunior HighSocial Groups Author:Suzanne Gordon
“When needs and means become abstract in quality, abstraction is also a character of the reciprocal relation of individuals to oneanother. This abstract character, universality, is the character of being recognized and is the moment which makes concrete, i.e. social, the isolated and abstract needs and their ways and means of satisfaction.” WayNeedsMeanMomentsCharacterIndividualSocialQualityRelationSatisfactionRecognitionAbstractIsolatedConcreteCommerceAbstractionReciprocalUniversality Book:Hegel's Philosophy of right Source: Hegel's Philosophy of right
