Like nuclear power, genetic engineering is not a neutral technology. It is by its very nature too powerful for our present state o...f social and scientific development, no matter whose hands are controlling it. Just as we would say, especially after Chernobyl, that a nuclear power plant is just as dangerous in a socialist nation as it is in a capitalist one, so I would say the same thing for genetic engineering.

A few ideas seem to be agreed upon. Help none but those who help themselves. Educate only at schools which provide in some form fo...r industrial education. These two points should be insisted upon.

Adolescence has been recognised as a stage of human development since medieval times--long, long before the industrial revolution-...-and, as it is now, has long been seen as a phase which centers on the fusion of sexual and social maturity. Indeed, adolescence as a concept has as long a history as that of puberty, which is sometimes considered more concrete, and hence much easier to name and to recognize.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
One of the necessary qualifications of an efficient business man in these days of industrial literature seems to be the ability to... write, in clear and idiomatic English, a 1,000-word story on how efficient he is and how he got that way....

An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits... depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of w...hich history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
