The marginalized did not create identity politics: their identities have been forced on them by dominant groups, and politics is the most effective method of revolt.
There’s lots of different feminist groups. It’s not as straightforward as just looking like a plumber.
I write books for all age groups – young kids, teenagers and adults – because I get a range of different ideas.
The groups who spend the most on lobbying lawmakers in Washington are well-known: ExxonMobil, Boeing, AT&T, General Electric.
Under the right circumstances, groups are remarkably smart – smarter even sometimes than the smartest people in them.
Competing is intense among humans, and within a group, selfish individuals always win. But in contests between groups, groups of altruists always beat groups of selfish individuals.
Even when they are saturated in the sense of the older theory of valence, the elementary atoms still possess sufficient chemical affinity to bind other seemingly also saturated atoms and groups of atoms, under generation of clearly defined atomic bonds.
What’s subcultural now is literally just a line of thinking, which is trying to be eyes wide open, in my view. It’s no longer attached to a specific demographic or specifically downtrodden groups of people; it’s much more free-floating, and you don’t know where you’re going to find it.
I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.
I think with all my books, language has been their subject as much as anything else. Language can elide or displace or sideline whole groups of people. You can’t necessarily change the way language is used, but if it becomes something you’re conscious of… that gives you a certain power over it.
Innovation at Apple has always been a team game. It has always been a case where you have a number of small groups working together.
As a gay Jewish white South African, I belong to quite a lot of minority groups. You constantly have to question who you are, what you are and whether you have the courage to be who you are.
One of the mysteries of hep B immunization is that vaccinating only ‘high risk’ groups, which was the original public health strategy, did not bring down rates of infection.
At Stanford, we teach ‘design thinking’ – that is, we put together small, interdisciplinary groups to figure out what the true needs are and then to apply the art of engineering to serve them.
Following the Second World War, we are a country of one ethnicity. After the moving of the borders, after the tragedy of the Holocaust and the murder of Polish Jews, we don’t have large minority groups.
When I’m talking to groups that are all men, we talk about how the masculine role limits them. They often want to talk about how they missed having real fathers, real loving, present fathers, because of the way that they tried to fit the picture of masculinity.
I don’t really have a lot of hip-hop and all of that, so I have a lot of John Lennon. That’s one that I really like, and The Clash, the Rolling Stones, groups that I think are kind of timeless.
If the security forces continue to be dominated as they are now by political groups or sects, then the people won’t trust in them – and the result will be civil war or fragmentation of the country.
Cincinnatians support a symphony, an opera, a ballet, museums, many galleries and theater groups.
If you repress rather than unlock the potential of large groups of Americans, what’s that going to do to our economy? It’s going to contract, not expand.
Some of the worst violence in the world today between estranged religious and ethnic groups happens not on the battlefields. It happens smack in the middle of living rooms and between people who share a lot, who have a lot in common.
Iraqi national identity under Saddam Hussein never truly incorporated Shiites or Kurds. Sunnis, who identified most closely with the Iraqi nation, remain in some ways disenfranchised relative to the other groups, or at least they perceive themselves that way.
We are very serious about imposing weapons restrictions on the PFLP and other Palestinian groups operating from their camps in Lebanon.
Responding to terrorism inevitably implies military consequences. This may shock some people, but these groups must also be dealt with on a military footing. I won’t use the word ‘combat’ to avoid being painted as a crusader.
I have always viewed my role as a sort of ambassador or bridge between groups to help provide a dialog.
I realise that in an electoral campaign, you don’t want to antagonise large groups which are highly motivated.
When I started singing, I was covering Lauryn Hill, Brandy, and all the girl groups of the ’90s. It’s just what I would listen to and what I was singing when anybody asked me to sing for them.
Web publishing can create common spaces; it all depends on how we, the readers and sometimes the producers, react to technological change. If we sort ourselves into narrow groups, common spaces will be in big trouble. But there’s no reason not to have common spaces on the Internet. There are lots of them out there.
Never, ever deal with terrorists. Hunt them down and, more important, mercilessly punish those states and groups that fund, arm, support, or simply allow their territories to be used by the terrorists with impunity.
And the inner dynamics of Hollywood are like politics. Say you give a script to a group of executives – they all sit around, afraid to voice an opinion, saying nothing, waiting to know what the consensus is. Just like focus groups, opinion polls or a cabinet.
In terms of the way people see me, it breaks down into two very clear and distinct groups: those who think they know me from reading the papers and those who really know me by reading my books.
The human family is at a critical juncture. The world is moving through a great transition. This transition is economic, as the digital revolution advances and as new powers and groups emerge.
I have to write for everyone. What really fascinates me is how you make films or make stories that can genuinely be shared by different groups.
I think maybe short stories operate in some of the same ways that poems do. They frame single or small moments and elevate those. They give you insight into more minor dramas maybe, dramas between smaller groups of people.
The banner of the project is ‘Casa de Colores.’ Under that banner, I’m going to invite people to do a lot of good things. Perhaps working in groups, working on poetry.
In Syria, a no-fly zone targeted at Assad’s air force and safe zones for refugees fleeing the fighting would help tamp down the death toll that plays into the hands of ISIS and other Sunni militants who can position themselves as the only groups that are really defending the Sunni population.
Most groups patent ways of using genetic discoveries as part of non-obvious diagnostic and therapeutic protocols and slightly or greatly altered genes.
We’ve been astonished by how good groups working together can predict the outcomes of events.
The United States and its Gulf allies, some of who are actively funding rebel groups in Syria, should undertake a serious joint review of Jordan’s needs and then act together to meet them.
As a chef, I had started working with groups like Share Our Strength and various local food banks in New York, raising money for hunger-related issues. And not only me, but the entire restaurant industry has been very focused on this issue.
The SS, as such, behaved no more criminally than any other social groups would behave when taking part in political events.
By that I mean, I think that it is true that politics and political heroes have to satisfy our need to be greater than mortal in some way, and that’s led them into creating illusions, sound bites, focus groups that tell you what to do.
I was a nursery school teacher, and I worked with youth groups. I loved that job. It was exhausting, but you got a lot back – all their purity and insight and innocence is so on the surface, and they’re so unrepressed; they’d really scream at you and then give you a massive kiss.
But once the ants and termites jumped the high barrier that prevents the vast variety of evolving animal groups from becoming fully social, they dominated the world.
The thing is that, they all had real strong personalities and real distinct identities, and I don’t find most of the groups that are coming out now really do.
In many cases, Obama’s exercise of authoritarian power is criminal. His executive branch is responsible for violations of the Arms Export Control Act in shipping weapons to Syria, the Espionage Act in Libya, and IRS law with regard to the targeting of conservative groups.
Skunk works differed from advanced research groups in that they were more than just product development groups. They had direct interaction with customers and controlled a sales channel which allowed them to negotiate their own deals with customers.
U.S. computer networks and databases are under daily cyber attack by nation states, international crime organizations, subnational groups, and individual hackers.
It’s funny that a lot of the fans of ‘Angel’ have come over and hung out with me on ‘Leverage.’ I was so fortunate to have been on that show. It created one of the best fan groups ever. I just have the best fans in the world.
