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.

Panopticism meaning a certain view point from an all seeing eye seems to be the way we as a people‚ although we may not know it are being seen. Within every building‚ social class‚ or individual there is a certain type of behavior permitted and if that behavior is not met with what is “right” there is discipline to be handed out. Maybe the world as we know it is under one big microscope and every moment of a regular citizens life is carefully observed by a greater power than themselves. Author Michel

the choice of government these two rulers decided to practice: Totalitarianism. Totalitarianism left people’s rights behind and just focused on power and control of the party in charge. It developed from a theory on a way of controlling people‚ Panopticism‚ and was tweaked and modified by the two rulers because of its intenseness to make it suitable for their countries. Because of this still extreme way of governing‚ it brought along with it many critics and literature pieces written about its extremist

The Powers of Panopticism Michel Foucault seeks throughout his work‚ Panopticism‚ to analyze how contemporary society is differently structured from the society that preceded us. He displays‚ through Jeremy Bentham’s architectural realization of the Panopticon‚ a prison for society and those who inhabit it. Also‚ there is the matter of constant surveillance‚ discipline and power in society. The Panopticon is not only a building where people are being governed‚ but also a laboratory-- “The Panopticon

in the reading “Discipline & Punish (1975)‚ Panopticism” by Michel Foucault. To exemplify‚ in this reading it’s explained how the plague influenced people and made them prohibited to stay at home with a syndic in every street who keeps them under surveillance throughout the procedure of quarantine.

The Panopticism was certainly difficult to read and comprehend. After reading it for the first time‚ I did not understand it. After reading and skimming a couple times‚ I began to increase my understanding. But after all of that I still do not fully understand the Panopticism.

something bad is going to happen to them. In Michel Foucault’s essay‚ Panopticism‚ Foucault makes the claim that no matter where you turn‚ someone or something may be watching you. By doing this‚ Foucault also makes the claim that this would be the only way to keep society in tact.

There are no specific names or history of the people except for the roles that they play and what they do. For example‚ the town was divided into distinct

Although Michel Foucaults "Panopticism" has a different form of control in the society as portrayed in George Orwells 1984‚ they both have many similarities among one another. Two ways of exercising power over men‚ of controlling their relations‚ of separating out their dangerous mixtures. The plague stricken town‚ transversed throughout with hierarchy‚ surveillance‚ observation‚ writing; the town immobilized by the functioning of an extensive power that bears in a distinct way over all individual
