Cultural Identity Quotes

• La ciudadanía no ha proporcionado a los australianos indígenas la misma calidad de vida que esperan otros australianos.

Estos derechos humanos deben poder disfrutarse, de lo contrario son gestos vacíos.

• Since the notion that we should all forsake attachment to race and/or cultural identity and be “just humans” within the framework of white supremacy has usually meant that subordinate groups must surrender their identities, beliefs, values, and assimilate by adopting the values and beliefs of privileged-class whites, rather than promoting racial harmony this thinking has created a fierce cultural protectionism.

• The identity of just one thing, the "clash of civilization" view that you're a Muslim or a Hindu or a Buddhist or a Christian, I think that's such a limited way of seeing humanity, and schools have the opportunity to bring out the fact that we have hundreds of identities. We have our national identity. We have our cultural identity, linguistic identity, religious identity. Yes, cultural identity, professional identity, all kinds of ways.

• The legacies that parents and church and teachers left to my generation of Black children were priceless but not material: a living faith reflected in daily service, the discipline of hard work and stick-to-itiveness, and a capacity to struggle in the face of adversity.

• Well to me growing, up I've had my own psychological war with my parents dying at such a young age. My mother was killed by a drunk driver, then two months later my father drowned. He was out with his friends drinking and on medication for depression, and he didn't come out of the water alive. Growing up with sexual abuse and having to be in gangs and dealing with my own trauma; finding the cultural identity when I was 16, and learning those traditional ways saved me from hurting myself.

• Cuando vemos que Donald Trump y Bernie Sanders, candidatos muy poco convencionales, tienen un éxito considerable, es evidente que hay algo ahí que se está aprovechando: una desconfianza hacia la globalización, un deseo de frenar sus excesos, una desconfianza hacia las élites y las instituciones de gobierno que la gente siente que no responden a sus necesidades inmediatas. Y eso a veces se mezcla con cuestiones de identidad étnica, religiosa o cultural, y puede ser una mezcla volátil.

• Kenya is rapidly developing its industry and manufacturing, and its cultural identity as a new country. We had a humongous history pre-British, and when we were colonized and violently reshuffled, we had to decide who we were again.

• As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.
