It's terrible for the culture of music. Like anything that is purely economic, it ignores the most important component.
I think this whole division between the genres has more to do with marketing than anything else. It's terrible for the culture of music.
At President Obama's direction, the U.S Department of Agriculture is working hard to unleash the power of America's innovators and entrepreneurs to build a green energy economy.
I grew up in a city. My parents would think there was something wrong with America if they knew I was secretary of agriculture.
To keep farmers on the farm we must maintain a strong farm safety net, but we will also have to build a thriving companion economy to compliment production agriculture in rural America.
The perils of credit and debt, especially perilous in the computer age, have long been acknowledged in pop culture, but very infrequently by TV.
Without exception, the dominance and coherence of culture proved to be an essential quality of the excellent companies.
The dominant culture in most big companies demands punishment for a mistake, no matter how useful, small, invisible.
When I was writing 'The Abstinence Teacher,' I really tried to immerse myself in contemporary American evangelical culture.
People never talked about my music. They just counted how many knickers were on stage.
I appear to be drawn to iconic characters and what they reflect back to our cultures.
Fashion is very quick. It's very disposable. It's immediately - it tells you exactly where we are in our culture, especially women's fashion.
We live in a material world. I'm not saying that beautiful things don't enhance our lives. But, in our culture, we're never happy.
A beautiful woman in our culture, and I would like to say, you know, this was different in 1962, but it still exists today - I know a lot of these women -treats different in a different way; meaning that if you're a beautiful woman, you're incredibly powerful within our culture. The world operates differently for you. Then, at a moment in time, and it has nothing to do with you, it's like the carpet is just ripped out from under you, and the way that you've operated in the world no longer works.
The loss of the culture is one of the main reasons Ciro Guerra wanted to tell their story.
It's hard for it to make a mark in this city because London has so much culture to offer.
I wish for recycling to become a major industrial agriculture.
I've always said that the Europeans subconsciously knew how to pose because of the culture or tradition of having your portrait made. They were surrounded by these portraits, and subconsciously they were already posing for them.
If we are not deliberately thinking about our culture and our context, we will be conformed to it without ever knowing.
I love the history of the sport, I love the culture that surrounds it, and I never dreamed I'd become a fanatic. I'm such a fanatic now that I'm committed to competing.
I have no idea what happens, but I do respond to other cultures that treat life with a much more positive approach. It teaches - especially when you're a child - it teaches you to be afraid of everything, you feel like something bad is always going to happen. As to where that other way seems a much more spiritual and positive approach.
I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.
Journalism and the questions of journalistic ethics, and why certain stories are put on the air, when, how and for what reasons, are big questions in our culture and society.
Reading is one of the true pleasures of life. In our age of mass culture, when so much that we encounter is abridged,adapted, adulterated, shredded, and boiled down, it is mind-easing and mind-inspiring to sit down privately with a congenial book.
A few hundred years ago, perhaps 85 or even 90 percent of humanity lived below a standard of living that today only 40 or 45 percent fail to reach. But at that earlier time only part of this poverty could have been eradicated, and this at substantial cost not only to the pleasures of the affluent, but also to their well-being and to human culture. In our time, nearly all severe poverty could be eradicated at a cost to the affluent that is truly trivial.
