“Cancer is not something confined to human beings. It's found in all multi cellular organisms where the adult cells proliferate, so it's widespread in the biosphere. It's a phenomenon that is deeply related to the history of life itself, so by studying cancer I think we can illuminate the history of life itself and vice versa.” ThinkingHumansFoundHuman BeingsStudyAdultsCancerVicesCellsRelatedPhenomenonOrganismsConfinedVice VersaBiosphereCellularHistory Of Life Author:Paul Davies
“Our accent will be upon youth: we need new ideas, new methods, new approaches. We will call upon young students of political science throughout the nation to help us. We will encourage these young students to launch their own independent study, and then give us their analysis and their suggestions. We are completely disenchanted with the old, adult, established politicians. We want to see some new faces -- more militant faces.” WantNeedsGivingIdeasHelpingFacesYoungPoliticalNationsStudyYouthStudentsPoliticianApproachAdultsIndependentMethodAnalysisNew IdeasAccentsSuggestionsPolitical ScienceMilitantNew ApproachNew FacesDisenchantedYoung Students Author:Malcolm X

“Studies have shown that the terms girl and lady have pejorative connotations: They conjure images of someone weaker and lazier; someone more nervous, afraid, dependent, immature, and inconsiderate; someone less sexy, intelligent, and certainly less charismatic than 'woman.' Indeed, the term woman is overwhelmingly interpreted as more favorable and is most often used to describe adult females who deserve respect.” UsedGirlTermStudyAdultsDeserveFemaleIntelligentSexyNervousDependentImmatureCharismaticConnotationInconsiderate Author:Pat Heim
“The idea of childhood as a social invention, in retrospect, is hardly credible. In the Bible, in writings of the Greeks and Romans, and in the works of the first great educator of the modern era, Comenius, children were recognized as being both different from adults and different from one another with respect to their stages of development. To be sure, the scientific study of children and the increased length of life in modern times have enhanced our understanding of age differences, but they have always been acknowledged.” WritingFirstsChildrenIdeasDifferentAgeSocialUnderstandingDifferencesStudyModernChildhoodStageDevelopmentAdultsInventionErasGreekLengthEducatorCredibleRetrospectModern TimesAge DifferenceModern EraStages Of DevelopmentLength Of Life Author:David Elkind

“In studies asking why young people left their family religion, their most frequent response was unanswered doubts and questions. The researchers were surprised: They expected to hear stories of broken relationships and wounded feelings. But the top reason given by young adults was that they did not get answers to their questions.” PeopleReasonStoriesFeelingsYoungLeftGivenAnswersStudyDoubtBrokenAdultsAskingResponseYoung AdultExpectedWoundedResearchersUnansweredAsking WhyBroken Relationship Author:Nancy Pearcey
