Culture
Culture () is the social behavior and norms found in human societies. Culture is considered a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies. Some aspects of human behavior, social practices such as culture, expressive forms such as art, music, dance, ritual, religion, and technologies such as tool usage, cooking, shelter, and clothing are said to be cultural universals, found in all human societies. The concept of material culture covers the physical expressions of culture, such as technology, architecture and art, whereas the immaterial aspects of culture such as principles of social organization (including practices of political organization and social institutions), mythology, philosophy, literature (both written and oral), and science comprise the intangible cultural heritage of a society.

Doesn't the world see the suffering of millions of Palestinians who have been living in exile around the world or in refugee camps for the past 60 years? No state, no home, no identity, no right to work. Doesn't the world see this injustice?
Ismail Haniyeh , in SPIEGEL Interview with Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh: "We Want Peace and Stability"
Film
I can no longer think what I want to think. My thoughts have been replaced by moving images.
Georges Duhamel, Scènes de la vie future (1930), p. 52.
Identity
Loss of identity drives people to nostalgia. Electronic man has no physical body, so he puts nostalgia in its place.
As quoted in "McLuhan's last words" by Stewart Brand, New Scientist (29 January 1981).
