I think eventually I want to become a teacher like my father wanted to be and hopefully positively influence the next generation.
As a teacher as a propagandist Mr. Shaw is no good at all even in his own generation. But as a personality he is immortal.
People repeat behaviour that leads to flooding their brains with pleasurable chemicals. The short-term reward loop acts over hours to years and the long-term reproductive success loop over generations.
I realized then that the generations may change but the strength of our nation remains solid.
As a result of Title IX and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had women's sports have arrived.
It seems to me that we're in danger of losing sight of certain basic civic values in society by allowing the growth of a whole generation of people who really have no sense of attachment to society.
Even the most wretched individual of our present society could not exist and develop without the cumulative social efforts of countless generations.
I would argue that we have a generation of young people particularly minorities who are no longer putting up with the kinds of things their parents put up with. They're much more self-confident. It's no longer acceptable to make fun of people because of race or sex. But it has always been present in American society.
Once the fabric of a just society is undone it takes generations to weave it back together.
A first-generation fortune is the most likely to be given away but once a fortune is inherited it's less likely that a very high percentage will go back to society.
