What I do deny is that you can build any enduring society without some such mystical ethos.

There is no longer a single common impediment to blacks emerging in this society.

If you're not adapting to the very rapidly changing environment if you can't think creatively you lose big in this society because there are very few jobs for you left.

I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration.

The farther a society progresses the more clearly the individual becomes the antithesis of the group.

I think for the most part people are proud of the bicultural foundation New Zealand is built on and the fact that we are a multicultural society.

Progress is measured by the degree of differentiation within a society.

The point I am making is that in the more primitive forms of society the individual is merely a unit in more developed forms of society he is an independent personality.

It does not seem that the contradiction which exists between the aristocratic function of art and the democratic structure of modern society can ever be resolved.

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.
