There is a great difference, whether the poet seeks the particular for the sake of the general or sees the general in the particular.

If it be, the money requisite for it may be applied to it; if it be not, no such application can be made.
Western countries in particular can today no longer be separated from Muslim societies, because they have them within themselves. They are themselves internally globalized.
The times when black women have been successful in confronting and overcoming the structural and institutional sexism and racism that persists in our society have been when we are thoughtful and strategic about speaking up. It's when we've done what it takes to introduce and implement our ideas and our plans to make things better.
