Design, if it is to be ecologically responsible and socially responsive, must be revolutionary and radical.
If design is to be ecologically responsible, it must be independent of concern for the gross national product.
Food redistribution is economically sensible, ecologically pressing, and socially responsible; it is high time food corporations woke up to it and governments started funding the organisations that facilitate it.
By the end, everybody had a label - pig, liberal, radical, revolutionary... If you had everything but a gun, you were a radical but not a revolutionary.
Design must be an innovative, highly creative, cross-disciplinary tool responsive to the needs of men. It must be more research-oriented, and we must stop defiling the earth itself with poorly-designed objects and structures.
By its very nature and design, Network Marketing is a strikingly Fair, Democratic, Socially Responsible system of generating wealth.
While an artist can choose whether or not to be responsive and responsible towards other human beings, by definition a designer must be.
We must build an agenda for speedy yet sustainable economic growth that is inclusive of all, is respectful of individuals, responsive to innovation and responsible towards the future generations.
Responsive and responsible leaders in governments and businesses must act and collaborate to expedite change, implementing innovative, experiential, and project-based educational approaches.
The living arrangements American now think of as normal are bankrupting us economically, socially, ecologically and spiritually.
In the early 1970s, Milton Friedman argued that corporations should not be socially responsible because they had no mandate to be; they existed to make money, not to be charitable institutions. But in the economy of the 21st century, corporations cannot be socially responsible, if social responsibility is understood to mean sacrificing profits for the sake of some perceived social good. That's because competition has become so much more intense.
Marrying a divorced man is ecologically responsible; in a world where there are more women than men, it pays to recycle.
Revolutionary politics, revolutionary art, and oh, the revolutionary mind, is the dullest thing on earth. When we open a revolutionary review, or read a revolutionary speech, we yawn our heads off. It is true, there is nothing else. Everything is correctly, monotonously, dishearteningly revolutionary. What a stupid word! What a stale fuss!
If you want your people to be responsible, be responsive to their needs.
As far as I'm concerned, the more power we push back to the patient, the individual, the American citizen, the more responsive the system is to her needs. 'Obamacare,is responsive' is like a hammer is responsive to a piece of glass.
What I see in Nature is a grand design that we can understand only imperfectly, one with which a responsible person must look at with humility.
Whoever sides with the revolutionary people is a revolutionary. Whoever sides with imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism is a counter-revolutionary. Whomever sides with the revolutionary people in words only but acts otherwise is a revolutionary in speech. Whoever sides with the revolutionary people in deed as well as in word is a revolutionary in the full sense.
