I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science.
Science for hundreds of years has spanned the differences between cultures and between countries.
If I wasn't doing this I'd be in school studying political science or socioeconomic something. I love visiting different cultures and finding out how they make up a society.
A lot of what the 'Culture' is about is a reaction to all the science fiction I was reading in my very early teens.
To recover a spiritual tradition in which creation and the study of creation matters would be to inaugurate new possibilities between spirituality and science that would shape the paradigms for culture its institution and its people.
Science is an integral part of culture. It's not this foreign thing done by an arcane priesthood. It's one of the glories of the human intellectual tradition.
It's really sad for me that in the United States the Latino community is losing its culture and language especially among kids born here - a lot of them can't even speak our language.
I'm sad to say that stardom is a commodity in our culture.
Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture and that's everywhere around the world.
There's a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You're left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It's probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing and romantic comedies are a classic genre.
If I were given a choice between two films and one was dark and explored depraved troubled or sick aspects of our culture I would always opt for that over the next romantic comedy.
I've got tremendous respect for different cultures for the food and everything.
I really only respect the Arab culture. I ain't really trying to pay no attention to ya know these little people in political positions and executive positions that ain't Arab culture oriented people because a lot of the times what are you really showing all of this concern for?
I think the more we embrace the culture of life and respect life the better that we do.
American officials have bent over backwards to show how sensitive they are to Muslim culture. It didn't seem very effective. They seem to be worried about winning the respect of other people.
I don't have to participate in another culture's ceremonies in order to respect that culture.
In our culture we have such respect for musical instruments they are like part of God.
To live your life well and have respect for what came before or after - there's a strong respect for that in African culture.
I think that people who live in cultures without quite so much privilege opportunity or grandiosity have a little bit more respect for the workings of destiny and the limitations that people can find themselves in through no fault of their own.
I got a lot of things that society had promised would make me whole and fulfilled - all the things that the culture tells you from preschool on will quiet the throbbing anxiety inside you - stature the respect of colleagues maybe even a kind of low-grade fame.
I think I'm fascinated by the power of religion in our culture. Like a lot of secular liberal people I ignored it for a long time. Lately of course just from a political perspective it's impossible to ignore.
I think that Sufism fits all over the world. The concept is not anything that fits standard Western ideas - it's always related to culture to music to religion. It is a dominant religion in Senegal.
As I have pointed out it is the Christian tradition that is the most fundamental element in Western culture. It lies at the base not only of Western religion but also of Western morals and Western social idealism.
Kinsey was trying to study sex scientifically get rid of the overlay of culture and religion.
