Famous quotes containing the words world and/or group:
“Modernized by tin roofs and T-shirts, Third World poverty is no longer picturesque.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
