“If the Russian word "perestroika" has easily entered the international lexicon, this is due to more than just interest in what is going on in the Soviet Union. Now the whole world needs restructuring, i.e. progressive development, a fundamental change.” IfsWorldNeedsWholeInterestDevelopmentFundamentalsUnionsInternationalDuesWhole WorldProgressiveSovietSoviet UnionLexiconRestructuring Author:Mikhail Gorbachev
“The new paradigm may be called a holistic world view, seeing the world as an integrated whole rather than a dissociated collection of parts. It may also be called an ecological view, if the term "ecological" is used in a much broader and deeper sense than usual. Deep ecological awareness recognizes the fundamental interdependence of all phenomena and the fact that, as individuals and societies we are all embedded in (and ultimately dependent on) the cyclical process of nature.” IfsWorldMayWholeFactsUsedIndividualProcessTermViewsSeeingAwarenessFundamentalsDeeperCollectionsDependentUsualParadigmIntegratedEcologicalEmbeddedHolisticInterdependenceWorld ViewSeeing The WorldIndividuals And Society Book:The Systems View of Life: A Unifying Vision Source: The Systems View of Life: A Unifying Vision
“There is, however, in art another kind of external similarity which is founded on a fundamental truth. When there is a similarity of inner tendency in the whole moral and spiritual atmosphere, a similarity of ideals, at first closely pursued but later lost to sight, a similarity in the inner feeling of any one period to that of another, the logical result will be a revival of the external forms which served to express those inner feelings in an earlier age.” FirstsKindArtWholeFeelingsAgeSpiritualFormLostResultsMoralPeriodsIdealsSightFundamentalsTendenciesAtmosphereLogicalRevivalPursuedSimilarityInner Feelings Book:Concerning the spiritual in art Source: Concerning the spiritual in art
“For years I've been interested in a fundamental question concerning what I call the psychology of evil: Why is it that good people do evil deeds? I've been interested in that question since I was a little kid. Growing up in the ghetto in the South Bronx, I had lots of friends who I thought were good kids, but for one reason or another they ended up in serious trouble. They went to jail, they took drugs, or they did terrible things to other people. My whole upbringing was focused on trying to understand what could have made them go wrong.” PeopleTryingYearsLittlesMadeReasonWholeKidsEvilGrowing UpPsychologyGrowingTroubleSeriousTerribleDrugFundamentalsSouthDeedsFocusedJailGood PeopleLittle KidTerrible ThingsUpbringingGhettoLots Of FriendsBronxKids Growing Up Author:Philip Zimbardo
