Cultural Quotes from:

Academic Quotes
It's curious how this parallels what goes on in academia. In academic fields like cultural studies, there's a lot of emphasis placed on finding and celebrating instances of audience "counter-hegemony" or audience "agency" instances of people not acting in the way that TV or the culture industry tells them to - the idea being that people really do have free will.

Continuous Quotes
In the 1980's or 1990's, university graduates were destined to have decent jobs, as they were in urgent demand after the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), during which university education was suspended.

Both Quotes
Instead of building and maintaining collaborative supplier strategies, Toyota's U.S. competitors seem to be on a different, riskier path. The danger is that innovation suffers when supplier relationships hinge only on cost-cutting demand. Toyota recognizes that fulfilling the enterprise potential of TPS requires a substantial cultural shift toward collaboration and continuous improvement, both internally and externally. The changes have to permeate senior management thinking.

Addressing Quotes
Instead of addressing the real problem, which is enforcement, the City Council has chosen to enact an overly broad bill that criminalizes a cultural activity. We live in a city that is the cultural capital of the world, yet it is a crime for a young adult to carry a magic marker. What's next -- watercolors or crayons?

Embrace Quotes
In my opinion, that has to change. If we are to grow as a region as a tech-based economy, and a knowledge-based economy, we have to embrace those ideas, or at least be willing to be open-minded or experimental about that. It's not a question of are we ready for this in some cultural sense -- enough people are for this to happen. It's one we have to embrace.

Accent Quotes
If companies work with outsourcers to build a structure that requires accent neutralization, cultural affinity, and a company product background -- if it makes the investment in their people -- then the performance could be good. But if they are merely going to a lowest-cost location, to an area that has already been mined for agents with English proficiency, then their customer service will falter.

Bigger Quotes
He (Simpson) said we still needed to maintain relations with China. His point was simple. Progress in China would only happen with communication between our countries, student and cultural changes, etc.. Despite what happened, putting the wall back up would solve nothing. As long as our citizens could interact with China's, there would be hope for a better future. Sometimes you have to compromise a little now, to make bigger gains later. Senator Simpson, who remains a valued friend, was right. That said, I'm totally dedicated to our First Amendment. I really think China will get there some day. Just not on our timetable.
