ان المترفين يودون من من صميم قلوبهم ان يكون الناس محافظين لايعرفون من الاراء الا ماورثوه عن الاباء والاجداد فإذا نهض من بينهم ناهض ينحو منحى جديدا في ارائه قالو عنه عميل للاجانب وهذه التهمه يصدقها البلهاء بسرعه ↗

Such thoughts were a hideous testimony to the world he had accepted; a world in which murder was easier than hope. ↗

المنغمس في اطاره الفكري والذي يجمد على مااعتاد عليه من مألوفات اجتماعية وحضارية يصعب عليه ان يكون مبدعا وعبقريا ↗

We see the puppets dancing on their miniature stage, moving up and down as the strings pull them around, following the prescribed course of their various little parts. We learn to understand the logic of this theater and we find ourselves in its motions. We locate ourselves in society and thus recognize our own position as we hang from its subtle strings. For a moment we see ourselves as puppets indeed. But then we grasp a decisive difference between the puppet theater and our own drama. Unlike the puppets, we have the possibility of stopping in our movements, looking up and perceiving the machinery by which we have been moved. In this act lies the first step toward freedom. And in this same act we find the conclusive justification of sociology as a humanistic discipline ↗

Rape culture is a concept of unknown origin and of uncertain definition; yet it has made its way into everyday vocabulary and is assumed to be commonly understood. The award-winning documentary film Rape Culture made by Margaret Lazarus in 1975 takes credit for first defining the concept ↗

There are certain questions that scientists may not ask, or, more accurately, for some questions, there are certain answers that scientists must a priori preclude from consideration. ↗

Academic sociologists have been trained to conceive of their discipline - sociology - as the scientific study of society, and to remit to the sister discipline of psychology the study of individuals. ↗

I admit that the eyes of the intellectually and culturally lively tend to glaze over at the mere mention of sociology, often with ample justification. ↗

Write about society as news and treat it like sociology. ↗

What makes the prospect of death distinctive in the modern age is the background of permanent technological and sociological revolution against which it is set, and which serves to strip us of any possible faith in the permanence of our labours. Our ancestors could believe that their achievements had a chance of bearing up against the flow of events. We know time to be a hurricane. Our buildings, our sense of style, our ideas, all of these will soon enough be anachronisms, and the machines in which we now take inordinate pride will seem no less bathetic than Yorick's skull. ↗

— Alain de Botton
