“I think that movies can help guide us through those experiences [the problems that are happening in our daily lives, the stresses between countries, the economy and global warming]. I think all art tries to grapple with, redefine, come to terms with, express what's happening now when it's working. You can be entertained, but you can also be stimulated to think about things.” ThinkingTryingArtCountryHelpingProblemTermEconomyHappeningsStressGuidesGlobal WarmingDaily Life Author:Nicolas Cage
“The number of stressors has multiplied exponentially: traffic, money, success, work/life balance, the economy, the environment, parenting, family conflict, relationships, disease.

“The nature of the economic system should be a matter for public choice, and free market capitalism should not be accepted without any discussion of the rich variety of alternatives ... Unlike civil laws, economic laws are imposed on people with all the authority of immutable laws of nature. But the economy is created by people, supported by government intervention, regulation, statute and subsidy, and implemented in such a way that it gives substantial wealth and power to a privileged few, while the majority face a life of relentless work, stress and periodic financial insecurity.” PeopleWayGivingShouldMatterGovernmentFacesLawChoicesWealthEconomyRichEconomicAcceptanceAuthorityCapitalismStressMajorityFinancialAcceptedVarietyAlternativesDiscussionInsecurityRegulationPrivilegedFree MarketInterventionLaws Of NatureRelentlessEconomic SystemsSubsidiesStatutesFree Market CapitalismWork StressGovernment Intervention Author:Tony Benn

“If we assume that the purpose of the economy is to serve and improve the welfare of the entire body of citizens, the U.S. model has clearly been a major failure. It has served a minority, and the majority have not only failed to share in the income gains yielded by the model, they have suffered from reduced benefits, greater job instability and stress, and a diminution of expectations and sense of hope for the future.” IfsBodyJobsPurposeEconomyGreaterShareCitizensBenefitsMajorsModelsExpectationsGainsStressMajorityAssumingIncomeWelfareMinoritiesInstabilityHope For The Future Author:Edward S.

“The state owned monopolies are among the greatest millstones round the neck of the economy. Liberals must stress at all times the virtues of the market, not only for efficiency but to enable the widest possible choice.

“Stress is a choice. Do you buy that? Some people have a hard time with the idea. Yes, bad things happen: The economy sours, our business struggles, the stock market tumbles, jobs are lost, people around us don't follow through, deadlines are missed, projects fail, good people leave. Life is full of these. But still, stress is a choice because whatever the 'trigger event,' we always choose our own response. We choose to react angrily. We choose to stuff our emotions and keep quiet. We choose to worry. Stress is a choice.” PeopleStillsIdeasHardHappensJobsLife IsChoicesLostStuffEmotionWorryStruggleEconomyFailingEventsQuietProjectsStressResponseThings HappenHard TimesBad ThingsGood PeopleTriggersDeadlineFollow ThroughBad Things Happen Author:John G.
