„Zdając sobie sprawę, że nasze sposoby nie są ani ludzką koniecznością, ani zrządzeniem boskim, ale powstają jako owoc długiej i burzliwej historii, możemy z powodzeniem przebadać po kolei wszystkie nasze instytucje, wyraźnie odcinające się na tle innych cywilizacji, i ważąc je na szali bez obawy uznać, że mają pewne braki.”

“My material on Samoa was gathered during a nine-month field trip in 1925–26 as a Fellow in the Biological Sciences of the National Research Council, on a research project designated as the study of the adolescent girl.
The Samoan Islands, with a population in 1926 of 40,229, are peopled by a Polynesian group, a people with light brown skin and wavy black hair who speak a Polynesian language. The islands were Christianized in the first half of the nineteenth century and were administratively divided between a League of Nations Mandate under New Zealand called Western Samoa, which comprised the islands of Upolu and Savaii, and American Samoa, which was governed by the United States Navy.
All my detailed work was done in the remote islands of the Manua group, principally in the village of Tau on the island of Tau.”

“Women want mediocre men, and men are working hard to be as mediocre as possible.”

Margaret Mead

Quote magazine (15 June 1958)
1950s
Kontekst: When human beings have been fascinated by the contemplation of their own hearts, the more intricate biological pattern of the female has become a model for the artist, the mystic, and the saint. When mankind turns instead to what can be done, altered, built, invented, in the outer world, all natural properties of men, animals, or metals become handicaps to be altered rather than clues to be followed. Women want mediocre men, and men are working hard to be as mediocre as possible.

“No matter how many communes anybody invents, the family always creeps back.”

Margaret Mead

"Future Families", in The American People in the Age of Kennedy (1973) edited by David M. Kennedy , p. 108
1970s
Kontekst: No matter how many communes anybody invents, the family always creeps back. You can get rid of it if you live in an enclave and keep everybody else out, and bring the children up to be unfit to live anywhere else. They can go on ignoring the family for several generations. But such communities are not part of the main world.
