Читая Foundations of Social Policy,  для моего класса нашла совершенно улетную цитату.  Берта Капен Рэйнольдз (одна из самых интересных и значительных фигур в социальной работе) сказала:

"If one word is needed, then, to begin to sum up what fifty years of living have taught me, that word is relatedness ... many people do not know that they stand in

What a bunch of gibberish nonsense! :-)

[magictoken]

it is just your opinion, but there could be many others :-) that that is one of the points of the quote ;-)

What you said applies pretty much to anything. Of course it is my opinion. Of course there could be many others. Why is this quote interesting? It basically targets bigotry, but it just states the obvious doesn't it?

well, it is not so much about the quote, but what that woman stood for. she didn't just say it. she really lived like that. it is hard to explain.
also, sometimes the most obvious things, we forget about and need to be reminded of.
to me this qote was important to read this morning. i wanted to share my good feeling toward the meaning of this qote with people who read (the whole two of them :-)))))))
this is it, nothing more, nothing less ;-)

i don't have to be super profound in my on-line bold do i? ;-)

What a soup of words! Is it in English? :-)

It was me!

basically, it means that we are units of a whole, and that we have each a place in society. also, we judge based on the idea that we we say is the truth, when in fact people say things and form opinions based on their own experiences, and their own blind spots and all of that relates to one another.

not a soup of words. i like it, which is just my opinion:-)
