Famous quotes containing the words social and/or context:
“Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fulfilled only through mans subordination.... The individual is the heart of society, conserving the essence of social life; society is the lungs which are distributing the element to keep the life essencethat, is, the individualpure and strong.”
—Emma Goldman (18691940)
“Parents are led to believe that they must be consistent, that is, always respond to the same issue the same way. Consistency is good up to a point but your child also needs to understand context and subtlety . . . much of adult life is governed by context: what is appropriate in one setting is not appropriate in another; the way something is said may be more important than what is said. . . .”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
