Cultural Ambassador

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or ambassador:

“If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

“An ambassador is not simply an agent; he is also a spectacle.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
