Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or impact:

    “At times it seems that the media have become the mainstream culture in children’s lives. Parents have become the alternative. Americans once expected parents to raise their children in accordance with the dominant cultural messages. Today they are expected to raise their children in opposition to it.”
    —Ellen Goodman (20th century)

    “Conquest is the missionary of valour, and the hard impact of military virtues beats meanness out of the world.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
