Globalization and Deculturalization of the World into Negative Conformity: A quote

"We are in the process of creating what deserves to be called the idiot culture. Not an idiot sub-culture, which every society has bubbling beneath the surface and which can provide harmless fun; but the culture itself. For the first time, the weird and the stupid and the coarse are becoming our cultural norm, even our cultural ideal."


 Carl Bernstein, U.S. journalist. Guardian (London, June 3, 1992)

For a Mover of Society, for an Advocate of Social Solidarity, for a Reformer or for a Revolutionary: A quote

"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is apt to spread discontent among those who are." H.L. Mencken
