"The last three decades have seen the collapse of the family wage system." ― Christopher Lasch Topic(s): Family More From Christopher Lasch "In an individualistic culture, the narcissist is God’s gift to the world. In a collectivist society, the narcissist is God’s gift to the collective." "In our society, daily experience teaches the individual to want and need a never-ending supply of new toys and drugs." "Propaganda in the ordinary sense of the term plays a less important part in a consumer society, where people greet all official pronouncements with suspicion." More In Family "Action films are great, but an action film that has characters that are compelling and a story that people can care about is something even better. We love to see action heroes that are vulnerable, that are sensitive, that are family people, that are accessible."― Steven Seagal "My family put a lot of emphasis on homework, so there weren’t too many comic books or video games for me, when I was growing up."― Wentworth Miller "I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn’t have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him."― Jane Fonda
