Social Pressure

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or pressure:

“The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

“We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.”
