“Much is made of the accelerating brutality of young people's crimes, but rarely does our concern for dangerous children translateinto concern for children in danger. We fail to make the connection between the use of force on children themselves, and violent antisocial behavior, or the connection between watching father batter mother and the child deducing a link between violence and masculinity.” PeopleChildrenDoeMadeUseYoungMotherFatherForceViolenceFailingDangerousCrimeDangerBehaviorConcernConnectionsViolentLinksMasculinityBrutalityAntisocialUse Of ForceAntisocial Behavior Book:Family politics: love and power on an intimate frontier Source: Family politics: love and power on an intimate frontier

“If you read Martin Luther King speeches and sermons in the last two years of his life - you might want to - when I read these to my students, they think it's Malcom X because it's so radical. And if you read nothing else - if your viewers read nothing else - then the April 4, 1967, speech at Riverside Church called "Beyond Vietnam," that's where he says the greatest purveyor of violence on earth is my country. And he connects the triplets of evil, racism, militarism, and materialism, and that connection makes him a radical.” IfsThinkingWantYearsTwoCountryMightEarthLastsEvilChurchViolenceStudentsKingsSpeechRacismConnectionsRadicalTwo YearsMaterialismVietnamViewersSermonsLutherAprilMilitarismKings SpeechTripletRiverside Author:Bill Ayers

“Dickens didn't have access to any other epistemologies other than those prevailing in Britain.
