General Systems Research

Famous quotes containing the words general, systems and/or research:

    “Every gazette brings accounts of the untutored freaks of the wind,—shipwrecks and hurricanes which the mariner and planter accept as special or general providences; but they touch our consciences, they remind us of our sins. Another deluge would disgrace mankind.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In all systems of theology the devil figures as a male person.... Yes, it is women who keep the church going.”
    —Don Marquis (1878–1937)

    “The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
    —Ron Taffel (20th century)
