“A "snapshot" feature in USA Today listed the five greatest concerns parents and teachers had about children in the '50s: talking out of turn, chewing gum in class, doing homework, stepping out of line, cleaning their rooms. Then it listed the five top concerns of parents today: drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, suicide and homicide, gang violence, anorexia and bulimia. We can also add AIDS, poverty, and homelessness. . . . Between my own childhood and the advent of my motherhood--one short generation--the culture had gone completely mad.” ChildrenTodayTurnsCultureParentLinesMy OwnRoomsTalkingClassPovertyGoneFiveTeacherViolenceGenerationsChildhoodDrugConcernSuicideMadAddAddictionMotherhoodAidsFeaturesUsaPregnancyTeenageCleaningGangHomelessnessHomeworkAnorexiaDrug AddictionDrug AddictAdventGumChewingBulimiaSnapshotsHomicideParents And TeachersChewing GumTeenage PregnancyGang ViolenceAnorexia And Bulimia Author:Mary Blakely

“The effort of building an ideal society always leads to violence, often to very extensive violence. Because, whether we like it or not, it is not possible to create an ideal society with imperfect people. And this, unfortunately, we are. So the main purpose for Nazism as well as for Communism was to create a 'new person'. In order to make room for it, the world needed to be rid of its non-perfect models.” PeopleWorldWellsPersonsPurposeOrderPerfectRoomsEffortViolenceBuildingNeededModelsIdealsCommunismImperfectNazismIdeal Society Author:Mart Laar

“There has been a ton of excellent music in this period (along with a few misses), evoking scenes like a bar-room brawl at a border-town dive, a washed-up singer in a smoky lounge, and the scenes of violence in Bob Dylan latter-day music videos.I think the ethos of this period is best summed up in the 2001 song "Summer Days".” ThinkingHas BeensSongRoomsViolenceMissingPeriodsSceneSummerTownsSingersBarsVideoExcellentBordersLatterBobDylanEthosLatter DaysSummer Days Author:Jay Michaelson

“[Albert Camus]didn't have much hope that things would work out, but he wanted them to. Algeria had reached such a degree of violence that once such violence is created there's no more room for reflection. And there's no mediating position. If you look at Bosnia today, the Croats, Bosnians and Serbs, they've all created so much horror that one starts to wonder how these peoples can live together, after having done what they have. Already the violence has reached such a degree that everybody is living in hate, there's no possibility of reflection, no mediating position.” IfsLooksDoneTodayWantedTogetherHateRoomsWonderViolencePossibilityPositionHorrorDegreesReflectionWork OutBosniaAlgeriaBosniansCroats Author:Catherine Camus
