My view of social media is that it is a set of tools not a religion.

When I'm not writing I read loads of fiction but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy religion science history social or cultural studies.

As I have pointed out it is the Christian tradition that is the most fundamental element in Western culture. It lies at the base not only of Western religion but also of Western morals and Western social idealism.

It is already clear after twenty years of socialism in Russia that if you do not provide your society with a new religion it will gradually revert to the old one.

It's a bit odd that nobody seems to be using the correct technical term to describe organized Islamic terrorists. They are not a faction of a religion or a social movement. They are a cult. A suicide cult.

Socialism is the religion people get when they lose their religion.

No the religion of Jesus is a social religion.

As with the Christian religion the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.

As social media is less about technology and more about relationship building we are starting to see more women have a heavy influence if not dominant role in the social media space. It's no wonder that Facebook is being run in part by chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg.

Our institute's agenda is relatively simple. We study the relationship between social-economic change and culture. By culture we mean beliefs values and lifestyles. We cover a broad range of issues and we work very internationally.

The relationship between the government of the United States and social and indigenous movements has always been difficult. Not just in Bolivia but worldwide. We need to have bilateral relations characterized by mutual respect.

So after the Lewinsky scandal everything changed and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time which were social to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.

Sexuality is a big issue but there are others - how much you commit to a relationship to social obligation to honesty and being honest with yourself.

The chief function of the city is to convert power into form energy into culture dead matter into the living symbols of art biological reproduction into social creativity.

The most impactful way consumers can assert their power is to become mindful shoppers giving their dollars only to socially responsible companies. In today's world of social media and smart phones this is easy to do.

I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.

The fundamental concept in social science is Power in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.

Come forward as servants of Islam organise the people economically socially educationally and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody.

Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People.

More brands are waking up to their social responsibility and doing good work through cause marketing campaigns. Yet too many still go about it the wrong way. I mean 'wrong' in two senses. Firstly they are marketing ineffectively and secondly as a consequence their positive social impact is not maximized.

I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole but I don't watch politics for sport.

Until politics are a branch of science we shall do well to regard political and social reforms as experiments rather than short-cuts to the millennium.

You have to believe that it's through politics that societies can lead social and economic and political change.

I don't take a great deal of interest in party politics. Social politics interests me a great deal more.
