«The sick person is, by definition, in some respect disabled from fulfilling normal social obligations, and the motivation of the sick person as being or staying sick has some reference to this fact.»
Talcott Parsons (1951) in: American Journal of Orthopsychiatry
« Unemployment does not mean lack of work, it means lack of paid work. Unemployment is an organizational problem, one with severe social consequences. It is a question of the distribution of the entrance ticket to what in these cultures is seen as a major symbol of full membership.» Christie, Nils (1994). Crime control as industry : towards GULAGS, Western style. London, New York: Routledge. S. 60.
