I’ve been socially deemed black in America, and this is a category that’s been hurting my family for generations and that has also led to extraordinary cultural contributions that I’m very proud of, but it’s not a real category and our society is damaged by insisting on it.
Autistic children are extremely bright if you can connect to them and bring them into our world. Socially it’s really hard for them, but it can happen.
Abnormal stresses and strains tend to accentuate man’s animal instincts and provoke irrational and socially disruptive behavior among the less stable individuals in the maddening crowd.
I want to build businesses that are high quality, socially conscious, and for the people.
Worldwide, our young generation shares the same issues socially and politically.
We oppose the benefit cap. We oppose social cleansing. We will bring the welfare bill down by controlling rents and boosting wages, not by impoverishing families and socially cleansing our communities.
I don’t think anything can help me socially, to be honest: I have this terrible personality. I don’t really know how to describe it… maybe I’ll go with surly.
I didn’t think that college math was for me. I didn’t think I’d be able to hack it. And that perception of math not being for girls, not being for girls who see themselves as socially well adjusted has got to change.
Kids who don’t play are not just at greater risk of falling behind academically, but also of becoming overweight or obese, failing to integrate socially, and even engaging in criminal activity.
Political journalists, socially inept or no, are not nerds. Most of them can’t do math, a fact that campaigns and politicians regularly exploit.
I often feel like Facebook is a giant friend portfolio, and sometimes it can be a much more socially appropriate way of contacting a person as compared with texting or telephone. And never mind the fact that it’s integrated into the iPhone. Makes me crazy in a super good way.
When people are economically or socially dislocated, they are always more vulnerable to being radicalized.
I’m not here to affect you politically or socially. I’m here to make you laugh. I use the news as the palette for my jokes.
I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it’s really important to me, and it will always be a part of my parenting, to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people.
I’ve had enough off-screen romances and now I’m happy being socially and emotionally challenged, on and off camera.
Tech innovation is something societies have to pursue as vigorously as they can. We have to innovate civically and socially at the same rate; otherwise, you create unfortunate disruptions, and that’s where you have people opposing technological innovations.
I’m fiscally conservative but socially moderate. A moderate Republican – there just aren’t many of us left.
Competitive sports may be where exercise becomes ‘fun’ for children who are good at it, but for those who are less talented, it is where exercise becomes not only physically demanding but also emotionally painful and socially humiliating.
There is not much that even the most socially responsible scientists can do as individuals, or even as a group, about the social consequences of their activities.
It’s not like I’m advocating that we ban ‘Call of Duty’ or anything silly like that, I’m asking is for companies to look at their hiring practices, to hire more women… and make sure they portray women in their games in a socially responsible way.
I am someone who pays attention to the currents that are going on socially in terms of what people want. When I catch wind of the types of matches people want, those are the matches I want, too.
When women are seen on TV being crass or funny or making jokes or undercutting someone, then you feel it’s socially acceptable for a woman to do that. More women are growing up feeling, ‘I can speak my mind and say what I want.’
I find the question of whether gender differences are biologically determined or socially constructed to be deeply disturbing.
My life is together, both professionally and socially.
Many people with autism struggle with reading nonverbal cues and acting on them. When you lose that ability to understand and process nonverbal cues, you’re at a huge disadvantage socially.
It’s nice to go back and look at the original version of Cyborg in the 1980s, when he was created, and seeing how politically and socially charged they were: it was no holds barred. If DC ever made a return to that social awareness and that sort of context, I’d be super-thrilled to see that.
The British who arrived in the United States in the eighteen-thirties and forties had imagined the young republic as a wide-eyed adolescent, socially ungainly and politically gauche, but with some hint of promise.
The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive.
Been trading up recently? You have, haven’t you? You’ll be squawking that you’re too rational, too busy and too socially concerned for any of that. But go through the fridge – come to think of it, what about the fridge itself? I bet it’s bigger than its predecessor.
Our relationship to the computer is much like our relationship to the car: rich, complex, socially messy.
Moral justification is a powerful disengagement mechanism. Destructive conduct is made personally and socially acceptable by portraying it in the service of moral ends. This is why most appeals against violent means usually fall on deaf ears.
The more socially conscious you are, the better the work you make.
The UPA’s strategy of ‘inclusive growth’ remains the foundational pillar of economically, politically, and socially sustainable development.
Most of stuff I audition for is stuff I think is socially relevant.
I have a production company where we create socially conscious media and content.
I am a socially liberal libertarian who is not for open borders.
When I wrote ‘The Assistants,’ I knew very much that I wanted to write about income inequality and student loan debt and the gender wage gap, but I wanted to put it in a really slick, fun package. That book ended up being described as a socially conscious novel in chick-lit clothing.
What I would like to vote for is a candidate that is socially liberal, a fiscal conservative, broadly libertarian with a small ‘l’ but sensible and pragmatic and with a chance of winning. That’s more or less the empty set.
You can be socially accepted and tell the truth about what it is to be a woman.
We’re very socially awkward.
I started riding the whole ‘fluffy’ train, and it’s a cute word and socially a lot more acceptable than someone saying is fat or obese. If you call a girl ‘fat,’ yo, she’ll raise hell, but if you say, ‘Aw girl, look at you, you’re fluffy,’ there’s almost a sexy appeal to it.
I learned at an early age to be socially effective while practicing disappearing.
I don’t know, I’m literally the most awkward, socially strange person.
I’ve always been known for making socially conscious music in the midst of the love songs and the bedroom songs.
I think there are plenty of Libertarians that are socially conservative.
I have to live, socially, in an almost unfinished society. Among the almost great, among the almost true, among the almost honest. That allows me to describe the anguish.
Electricity can transform people’s lives, not just economically but also socially.
I think my legacy is important because my songs – perhaps more than those of any other songwriter I know – cover every movement from 1965 on, socially and artistically. If you want songs about ecology, I’ve got ecology songs; if you want songs about spirituality, I’ve got spiritual songs.
Design, if it is to be ecologically responsible and socially responsive, must be revolutionary and radical.
The more I get to do this character, the more I realize that she’s not just annoying. It’s that her strength is not interacting with people socially. She just doesn’t have time because she has so much going on in her brain.
Canberra was my home for many years, and there’s a lot to love about it. It has a small population with a strong sense of community and is top-heavy with interesting, highly educated, socially progressive people – the opposite of the stereotypical image of dull public servants.
Like in ‘Eastenders’ they can write coronavirus into the scripts, so people can actually be socially distancing. But if you’re in a sketch show where you’re on top of each other, doing stupid things, you can’t really make it work.
If you know what you want to do, as I always loved musicals, and then to have been lucky enough to be successful with them, I think that’s all you can ask isn’t it? I think I don’t really think too much about it. I am a bit shy socially, yeah, I admit that.
The only way I know how to write is socially and getting immediate feedback on my phone.
The biggest challenge for cyborgs is to be socially accepted. Society needs to accept that there are people who wish to use technology as part of the body.
I came from a socially deprived background when I was 15, 16 years old, but one thing I knew was one – you don’t abuse a policeman, and two – you don’t steal things.
