Straight white males: that's the predominant moviegoing category, and the persistence of that is a dismaying maintenance of the status quo.
As a black woman, I have no particular interest in maintaining the status quo. Why would I? The status quo is harmful; the status quo is significantly racist and sexist and a whole bunch of other things that I think need to change.
Like all dominant groups, men seek to promote an image of their subordinate's nature that contributes to the preservation of the status quo. For thousands of years, males have seen women not as women could be, but only as males want them to be.
When you teach black people that they are less beautiful, less moral, less intelligent, and as a result you defer to the white supremacist status quo, you rationalize your accommodation to the status quo, you lose your fire, you become much more tied to producing foliage, what appears to be the case.
Managers maintain an efficient status quo while leaders attack the status quo to create something new.
When you get to No 10, you've climbed there on a little ladder called 'the status quo'. And when you are there, the status quo looks very good
The notion that I should be fine with the status quo even if I am not wholly affected by the status quo is repulsive.
Organizations that destroy the status quo win. Whatever the status quo is, changing it gives you the opportunity to be remarkable.
Major political parties have a role, but they are incapable of initiating fundamental change because they are fundamentally tied to the status quo. They are the status quo.
If you allow your perceptions to be dominated by a status-quo perspective these thought forms create a network of status-quo mental habit patterns.
I really think it would be cowardly to pull back and not challenge the status quo, when the status quo may not be the right way for the field to go.
Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status.
Our feeling is that the status quo often gets a boost and this is the new status quo.
Fantasy is not the literature of subversion of the status quo but of 'awakening to' the status quo.
The State is a collection of officials, different for difference purposes, drawing comfortable incomes so long as the status quo is preserved. The only alteration they are likely to desire in the status quo is an increase of bureaucracy and the power of bureaucrats.
The status quo is presented as something to aspire to, whereas for us, the status quo was something we wanted to shatter in order to create the space for people to choose for themselves.
The European policy is invariably the maintenance of the status quo, and you will do nothing for the subject races unless we, by taking initiative, make you realize that helping us against the Turks is the lesser of the evils.
