Intellectual property is an important legal and cultural issue. Society as a whole has complex issues to face here: private ownership vs. open source and so on.

Do not ghettoize society by putting people into legal categories of gender race ethnicity language or other such characteristics.

I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.

I have spent all my life under a Communist regime and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.

The Company of Wolves is about how society teaches young women to look at themselves and what to be afraid of. It's about a girl learning that the world of sensuality and the unknown is not to be feared that it's worth getting your teeth into.

All are agreed that the increase of learning and good morals are great blessings to society.

What society doesn't realize is that in the past ordinary people respected learning. They respected books and they don't now or not very much. That whole respect for serious literature and learning has disappeared.

America somehow thinks that leadership relates to governance and it certainly does. But society is much bigger than governance and some of the truly great leadership of our society is outside the governance arena.

I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion and not on the opinion of the masses.

As a vibrant force in civil society women continue to press for their rights equal participation in decision-making and the upholding of the principles of the revolution by the highest levels of leadership in Egypt.

Where there is an absence of international political leadership civil society should step in to fill the gap providing the energy and vision needed to move the world in a new and better direction.

We live in a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.

We stand in the shadow of Jefferson who believed that a society founded upon the rule of law and liberty was dependent upon public education and the diffusion of knowledge.

What guides Marxism then is a different model of society and a different conception of the function of the knowledge that can be produced by society and acquired from it.

If no other knowledge deserves to be called useful but that which helps to enlarge our possessions or to raise our station in society then Mythology has no claim to the appellation.

A knowledge of the forces that rule society of the causes that have produced its upheavals and of society's resources for promoting healthy progress has become of vital concern to our civilization.

The university's business is the conservation of useless knowledge and what the university itself apparently fails to see is that this enterprise is not only noble but indispensable as well that society can not exist unless it goes on.

The business of a scientific school is the dissemination of useful knowledge and this is a noble enterprise and indispensable withal society can not exist unless it goes on.

We need to get back to reasoning and thinking things through. The future generation is being brought up in greed and without a true understanding of civics. There is no more emphasis on knowledge and time. As a society we need to process ideas and understand what certain principles are based upon.

One can decide that the principal role of knowledge is as an indispensable element in the functioning of society and act in accordance with that decision only if one has already decided that society is a giant machine.

If we wish to discuss knowledge in the most highly developed contemporary society we must answer the preliminary question of what methodological representation to apply to that society.

Our civilization has evolved through the continuous adjustment of society to the stimulus of new knowledge.

Others think it the responsibility of scientists to coerce the rest of society because they have the power that derives from special knowledge.
