"The positive development of a society in the absence of creative, independently thinking, critical individuals is as inconceivable as the development of an individual in the absence of the stimulus of the community."    Albert Einstein “ Power does not reside in institutions, not even the state or large corporations. It is located in the networks that structure society.”    Manuel Castells
