Famous quotes containing the words social and/or context:
“American feminists have generally stressed the ways in which men and women should be equal and have therefore tried to put aside differences....

—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
