Young people live in a society in which every institution becomes an "inspection regime" - recording, watching, gathering information and storing data.

We need to educate students to be critical agents, to learn how to take risks, engage in thoughtful dialogue, and taking on the crucial issue what it means to be socially responsible.

The present generation has been born into a throwaway society of consumers in which both goods and young people are increasingly objectified and disposable.

Neoliberalism is vulnerable. When it comes to talking about social provisions, the only argument they have is the argument of barbarians: that social provisions make people dependent, and dependency is an evil, and people have to pick themselves up by their bootstraps. And that is such bullshit that it boggles my mind.

Very little appears to escape the infantilizing and moral vacuity of the market.

The degree to which fear now becomes an organizing principle of society is enormous compared to what it was like in the past.
