Perhaps a modern society ordsprog

en Perhaps a modern society can remain stable only by eliminating adolescence, by giving its young, from the age of ten, the skills, responsibilities, and rewards of grownups, and opportunities for action in all spheres of life. Adolescence should be a time of useful action, while book learning and scholarship should be a preoccupation of adults.

en It is really important to keep in mind that puberty is the biology of change and adolescence is the socio-cultural reflection of that, and in the United States we take a very long time with our adolescence. I think that the extent to which brain development is influenced by environment, we would see a very different pattern in adolescence, certainly in European adults and probably strikingly different in other cultures as well.

en It's a wake-up call that although we've been investing a lot in adolescence, we can't stop thinking about the health of our young people when they leave adolescence.

en We were particularly interested in the transition into adolescence, which is critical for identity and for self-concept. Adolescence can also be a period of great stress for the family. So we wanted to know what skills and strengths the child is coming into that period with.

en The Witch of Blackbird Pond examines society's intolerance about those who differ, using a witch hunt as the main action of the play. This book stands out as a children's literature classic and we're proud to be able to present it. This material is powerful to young adults the way Arthur Miller's The Crucible is for adults.

en We use wrestling to help teach kids to make better choices. It's the social skills they get. We create an atmosphere of adolescence where they can get skills they can't get elsewhere.

en Life isn't stable. Stability is unnatural. The only stable society is the police state. You can have a free society or you can have a stable society. You can't have both. Take your choice. As for me, I'll choose a free, organic society over a rigid, artificial society any day.

en A lot of our young people are targets for adults who are exploiting them, and they see any action by adults trying to help them as an assault on them. He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene. I wanted to help them.

en The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action the ability to pass directly from thought to action.
