Drug addiction is one of the things that undermines traditional values  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) It is the logic of consumerism that undermines the values of loyalty and permanence and promotes a different set of values that is destructive of family life  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) Liberals subscribe to the new flexible, pluralistic definition of the family; their defense of families carries no conviction  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) Make it new is the message not just of modern art but of modern consumerism, of which modern art is largely a mirror image  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) Most women are pragmatists who have allowed extremists on the left and right to manipulate the family issue for their own purposes  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) Ostensibly rigorous and realistic, contemporary conservatism is an ideology of denial. Its symbol is a smile button  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) 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  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) The attempt to redefine the family as a purely voluntary arrangement grows out of the modern delusion that people can keep all their options open all the time  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) Neoclassical economics insists that advertising cannot force consumers to buy anything they don’t already want to buy  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) The left ask people to believe that there is no conflict between feminism and the family  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) The left dismisses talk about the collapse of family life and talks instead about the emergence of the growing new diversity of family types  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) The left sees nothing but bigotry and superstition in the popular defense of the family or in popular attitudes regarding abortion, crime, busing, and the school curriculum  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) The proper reply to right wing religiosity is not to insist that politics and religion don’t mix. This is the stock response of the left  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) The question of the family now divides our society so deeply that the opposing sides cannot even agree on a definition of the institution they are arguing about  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) When liberals finally grasped the strength of popular feeling about the family, they cried to appropriate the rhetoric and symbolism of family values for their own purposes  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) A child’s appetite for new toys appeal to the desire for ownership and appropriation: the appeal of toys comes to lie not in their use but in their status as possessions  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) Conservatives have no understanding of modern capitalism. They have a distorted understanding of the traditional values they claim to defend  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) Ideologies, however appealing, cannot shape the whole structure of perceptions and conduct unless they are embedded in daily experiences that confirm them  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) Instead of taking environmentalism away from the left, conservatives condemn it as a counsel of doom  (Christopher Lasch Quotes) Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize  (Christopher Lasch Quotes)
