Added a citation for the reference to this quote in The West Wing. However I cannot find any definite attribution of the quote to Mead. This recollection is the closest, but seems to be a recollection of an oral statement: "One of my teachers at LSE, Margaret Mead, told me and my classmates to 'never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.' I have remained inspired by her words." Firoz Lalji (BSc Economics 1969), LSE Benefactor. http://www.lse.ac.uk/supporting-lse/where-you-can-help/thought-leadership. Tacyarg ( talk) 21:00, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

The FAQ on Mead's Institute for Intercultural Studies website ( http://www.interculturalstudies.org/faq.html#quote) notes that the quote, while unsourced, is trademarked in part by her granddaughter. Chadthomasgreen ( talk) 16:11, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Oops - it seems my memory was partly at fault. The "naive female" was in fact the male Bronislaw Malinowski in the Trobriand Islands - it's in the last 2 pages (pages 79-80 in my edition) of Chapter 6 (White Dwarfs and Little Green Men) of Carl Sagan's Broca's Brain. Sorry about that. Tlhslobus ( talk) 23:35, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
I've now added a sentence about this in our Malinowski article. Tlhslobus ( talk) 00:25, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
As I was curious to see what Sir David thought, checked this Swahili source. [1] If Google translate is to be believed, it does not mention either Mead or Attenborough - nor Coming of Age in Samoa. Here is the (very poor) translation:
Inom psykologin

Genomic inspirations from the 1930s and for the first time were a day in which there was a great connection between psychiatrists and conservatives and those who were very active. Have you ever been asked to sign up for a free account? Sigmund Freud, a psychologist who specializes in psychologist Carl Jung, as well as Stanley Milgram analogy as a result of a broad-based approach to the Yale i början in the 1960s. We are also looking at the controversial British psychiatrist R.D. Laing flarklara hur begreppet sinnessjukdom tillskrivs individuals individually as integer up to sahällets krav.
While it's a bit gibberish, it's still clear it has nothing to say about the relevant material. Sorry I was unable to find a replacement source for this statement, for all I think it is likely correct, but I will look some more. 49.177.61.250 ( talk) 09:50, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

This whole paragraph is extremely dubious. It is extremely broad, and seems to be arguing the ridiculous idea that there's anthropologists who think culture is biological determined.
"While nurture-oriented anthropologists are more inclined to agree with Mead's conclusions, there are other non-anthropologists who take a nature-oriented approach following Freeman's lead, such as Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, biologist Richard Dawkins, evolutionary psychologist David Buss, science writer Matt Ridley, classicist Mary Lefkowitz,[page needed]."
There was a citation to Singer, and I looked up the citation and the citation did not say what was claimed. Singer was actually saying that ideological blinkers were making people ignore evidence about the issue entirely. CrickedBack ( talk) 08:10, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Can pronunciation of her surname be added please. I imagine this is obvious to native English speakers but we EFL learners are at a loss. Mateno ( talk) 19:52, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
