hard-times ideas culture
Blog culture has a hard time digesting narratives, but it has an easy time digesting 'big ideas' pieces.
numbers doe facts
Breast-feeding does not belong in the realm of facts and hard numbers; it is much too intimate and elemental.
factories used used-to-be
Factories not what they used to be - they're all extremely high-tech.
jobs training green
Green jobs - those are jobs that feel like new economy jobs; they do require some training.
dog cat ends
I could do a franchise for the end of everything. 'The End of Dogs,' 'The End of Cats.'
class feminist female
I grew up in a working-class Israeli family, which was feminist only in its female-dominated structure.
children perfect environment
We can no more create the perfect environment for our children than we can create perfect children.
motivation inspiration successful
The global economy is becoming a place where women are more successful than men, and these economic changes are starting to rapidly affect our culture - what our romantic comedies look like, what our marriages look like, what our dating lives look like, and our new set of superheroes.

children media hands
On the one hand, parents want their children to swim expertly in the digital stream that they will have to navigate all their lives; on the other hand, they fear that too much digital media, too early, will sink them.
las-vegas justice soul
Hollywood is in somewhat the same position as Las Vegas these days. It went from being the capital of sin to Disneyland, and now it's landed somewhere in between. It tries to keep the sins hidden away and outwardly present itself as a defender of American virtues: justice, individual freedom, and the power of one innocent soul to save the world.
powerful men psychology
Evolutionary psychology tells us that men, especially powerful men, feel invincible and entitled to spread their seed, and that women can't resist the scent of masculine power. Women, by contrast, are said to be more altruistic and collaborative, seeking power so that they can share it with others.
inspirational motivational games
Every new medium has, within a short time of its introduction, been condemned as a threat to young people. Pulp novels would destroy their morals, TV would wreck their eyesight, video games would make them violent.
