Of course, sometimes when you write personally, you are also writing about society, obliquely reflecting topical issues, but not in a way that people would expect you to or in the way that someone trying to make a point would.
Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society... It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this is very scary stuff.
Trade unions are a force for good - a force for a more equal society.
I just don't know when, as a society... it sort of only became OK to represent gay people in the traditional sense, where they have a great job and well-adjusted parents and maybe a surrogate or adopted child. When was that the only way you could represent gay people?
Throughout history, we have only moved forward when society has distinguished between traditional values and valueless traditions.
We are becoming a society where traditional values and free speech are being diminished and the religious are viewed as having a backward mentality.
In reality, victims of human trafficking are often left voiceless and completely unseen by society.
I know that one day all transgender individuals will have the freedom to be who they are, no matter what. And we won't have to face the cruel judgments of society. We can just live our lives and be treated and respected like everyone else.
America's a very traumatized society.
You judge a society by how it treats its citizens. We must do our best to ensure that every child can live in comfort and security, with the best possible education.

One of the great, and largely forgotten, triumphs of American society and government has been how smoothly U.S. farmers and their communities negotiated the creative destruction of the early 20th century and emerged triumphant when it was over.
We live in a society of triviality, and my music and what I'm about kind of starts to break that mold and adds more meaning and dialogue to hip hop.
Society honors its living conformists and its dead troublemakers.
Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.
The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your strong womanly image to gain strong results in society.
How a society treats its disabled is the true measure of a civilization.
I don't think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you to think it's a choice, but in fact, it's in one's nature. The choice is whether one expresses one's nature truthfully or spends the rest of one's life lying about it.
I think our Western society is very much about, 'Tuck your head in; make sure you're safe. Don't rock the boat.'
It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. If everyone was straight-laced and uptight, it would sure be a drag. We need a little tug of war in society.
