More From Ulrich Beck
- "All theory of modernity in sociology suggests that the more modernity there is, the less religion. In my theory we can realize that this is wrong: atheism is only one belief system among many."
- "I forced myself to think what is the new concept and it became clear to me that it was risk, not only in technology and ecology, but in life and employment, too."
- "The basic assumption of the secular society is that modernity overcomes religion."
More In War
- "As I’ve said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hopes for Iraqis’ future."― Barack Obama
- "I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don’t encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics."― Newt Gingrich
- "War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over."― William Tecumseh Sherman
