Road to a Discipline Society
Road to a Discipline Society
You will never really be seen as “free” in this world. Especially with the amazing technology we have today. It’s getting extremely superior obviously day by day. It is hard to do anything without being watched by the government. Some people feel more secured while others want nothing to do with the government being “on top of you.” The government does this for a reason, to have all the people in line and not have anyone doing the immoral things. Foucault explains throughout the book how the government punishes the criminals’ through a rough system called the Panopticon. Foucault is trying to show us how the government and the people in emergencies dealt with actions that were occurring. The author uses the plague as a metaphor throughout the reading to show us how deadly of a disease can hurt everyone and how the panopticon can cure it by making everyone separate in their own cells. The government has no choice but to treat the felons very harshly to prevent further crimes. The panopticon is a really harsh but great way to get the point across to the people in society. This later leads on to more than just to surpass the disease but to be making this the new style of living and to spread this style of living all over the world. The point of the panopticon is having a disciplinary society; many argue this isn’t the way to establish discipline. I don’t think there is anyone in this world that would be satisfied in finding out that they have been diagnosed to a disease. It is never a good time dealing with diseases. The government tries to prevent the spread of the plague in harsh way. In a quick terrifying orderly fashion the government demands everyone to do as told and no one is to rebel or else there will be consequences. “If he leaves the street, he will be condemned to death”(181). There are very strict rules that the people have to follow and there will be very unfair consequences for those who become rebels.
