The world remains a very hostile place for women in many corners of the globe. As such, we should all strive to battle such injustices wherever these might occur.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Amongst Western intelligentsia, to criticize if not loathe American values is viewed as progressive and liberal, whilst to support brutal and intolerant religious and political ideologies is a hallmark of being enlightened.
Quote by -Gad Saad
If you are of sound mind and body, many exciting and challenging adventures are within your reach irrespective of your age.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Social etiquette dictates that when in mixed company, one should avoid discussing politics and religion. As someone who is quite active on various social portals, I can attest to the visceral emotions that are triggered when these topics are broached!
Quote by -Gad Saad
I contend that the ethos of perpetual non-judgment is intellectually dishonest if not outright cowardly.
Quote by -Gad Saad
One of the hallmarks of the American justice system is that it should be blind to individuals' idiosyncratic descriptors, including biological sex, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or physical attributes.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Offending someone's religious sensibilities can never justify a violent response. There are no 'but' qualifiers, and the sooner that this lesson is internalized, the rosier our future will be.
Quote by -Gad Saad
There is nothing morally objectionable in stating that a country has the inalienable right to decide on the exact number of immigrants and the exact type of immigrants that it wishes to let into its borders. As part of that calculus, it is perfectly rational to exhibit preferential treatment to immigrants who share one's cultural values.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Early in my doctoral training at Cornell University, I became immersed in the behavioral decision theory paradigm.
Quote by -Gad Saad
To rightly recognize that men and women are equal under the law is perfectly removed from the fact that men and women are distinguishable beings that have been shaped by sex-specific evolutionary challenges. Accordingly, there is no reason to assume or expect that there should be equal representation of the two sexes across all contexts.
Quote by -Gad Saad
To study consumer behavior is to explore human nature at its most fundamental level using the modern world as its backdrop.
Quote by -Gad Saad
While it is true that all individuals are equal under the law, this hardly implies that they are created equal.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Across disparate cultures that require physical risk-taking as a rite of passage, it is always the men who engage in such pursuits.
Quote by -Gad Saad
There is no gospel of atheism. Atheists don't pray at the altar of a Richard Dawkins poster.
Quote by -Gad Saad
My family and I were welcomed to Canada more than 40 years ago. We sought and obtained refuge in a liberal, modern, and secular society, and put the ugliness of genocidal religious hate and associated tribalism behind us - or so we thought.
Quote by -Gad Saad
In some instances, a gender imbalance is indeed a manifestation of sexism. In others, it is not.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Notwithstanding the supposed egalitarian ethos of some hunter-gatherer societies, humans are a hierarchical social species. We care greatly about where we stand in comparison to some relevant reference group.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Consumer behaviour is a powerful realm from which to explore our biological heritage.
Quote by -Gad Saad
It is perfectly acceptable in a free and liberal society to criticize, debate, mock, and reject any ideology.
Quote by -Gad Saad
My personal growth stems from the humility with which I navigate the world, namely with a reverence for all of the knowledge that I've yet to learn but that is out there available to me.
Quote by -Gad Saad
There are many benefits to having interesting friends on Facebook. In my case, given that fellow academics constitute a sizable portion of my online friends, I am at times privy to shared studies that I might otherwise miss (or perhaps only identify at some future date).
Quote by -Gad Saad
There is a natural rhythm to parent-child interactions, including the fact that some parental insights prove poignant and veridical decades after they were first shared with us.
Quote by -Gad Saad
As someone who escaped religious persecution in Lebanon and whose parents were kidnapped in Beirut, I fully support the protection of all individuals from institutional discrimination. That said, I am weary of the ethos of victimhood that has parasitized our culture.
Quote by -Gad Saad
My purity manifests itself in countless ways, including an utter inability to sit idly when exposed to attacks on truth, reason, logic, and/or individual dignity.
Quote by -Gad Saad
When a political party denies scientific facts, then by all means, they should be called out on their anti-science stance.
Quote by -Gad Saad
At the basis of a country's immigration policy is the recognition that a country has the right to pursue its interests first, and whenever it wishes to be altruistic and humane, this is instantiated without ever risking the danger of its citizens and/or its cultural values.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Let us stop pathologizing masculinity. Instead, let us appreciate the endless ways by which men and women are similar to one another, as well as the important ways in which the two sexes differ.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Trigger warnings are an instantiation of the West's zeitgeist of perpetual offense and victimhood that defines much of public discourse.
Quote by -Gad Saad
In many instances, mate choice is a compensatory process. In other words, both men and women choose prospective mates by combining their scores on several key attributes.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Nearly everything that defines much of our daily experiences is consummatory in nature. Yes, we consume products and services. But we also consume life experiences, religious narratives, art, literature, and ideas.
Quote by -Gad Saad
For humans, gift giving is a universal ritual laden with evolutionary implications.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Secularism and pluralism are two of the defining ethos of Western societies. The former decouples religion from governmental institutions whilst the latter seeks to protect the rights of all citizens to freely practice their creed.
Quote by -Gad Saad
In the public realm, secularism should not concede a single inch to religious intrusions.
Quote by -Gad Saad
University students should rightly be exposed to a plurality of viewpoints as part of their intellectual growth, rather attending the 'flock of sheep association of like-minded individuals.'
Quote by -Gad Saad
One of the ways by which astrology tricks human brains is via the Barnum effect, which is the process by which individuals take general and vague statements that could apply to anyone and anywhere, and find personal meaning in them.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Animals use a broad range of strategies to advertise themselves in the mating market. In some instances, visual cues highlight a morphological feature - for example, the peacock's tail.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Great leaders are not proverbial fence sitters. They judge. They opine. They challenge. They fight for their vision.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Memorable people do memorable things. Followers are seldom remembered. The herd mentality is the killer of innovation. When appropriate, be bold in your undertakings.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Freedom of religion does not entitle your religion to have a privileged position within the public sphere.
Quote by -Gad Saad
The great majority of men are attracted to feminine women who do not possess the body type of Michael Phelps. Beyonce is desired not because of her 'diabolical femininity,' but simply because of her femininity.
Quote by -Gad Saad
Marketing is fundamental to what makes us human. Marketing is not solely about selling chewing gum, cars, cellphones, and tourist packages. Everything in life involves the process of marketing something to someone.
Quote by -Gad Saad
In the public realm, secularism should not concede a single inch to religious intrusions. To argue otherwise is to violate the meaning of secularism.
