He came up with idea that people govern themselves‚ and his Panopticism essay revolves basically around this central idea. There are many panoptic examples in society today that have both positive and negative connotation. Generally I believe the

Set forth and describe three scenes from The Matrix that illustrate Cartesian themes. Early in the movie‚ Neo pulls a book off of a shelf‚ Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulations‚ and opens it to reveal that it contains electronic contraband. In an instant‚ the directors ask us to consider his work. It completely avoids asking the logical question that follows after finding out that all of 1999 is an illusion: How are we to determine the truth or reality of any experience? The moment we believe

They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent‚ and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses (Malcom X 1963). This claim invokes me to think about the extraordinary effect literature has had on shaping our society. I find it especially intriguing that entire countries can be ruled by the
