Michael Foucault believes that modern society is a society of surveillance, and his predictions could not be more accurate. Through the intention of producing something as lighthearted as entertainment, we have relied on the panoptic order to secure this gaze. This essay will use Foucault’s theory of the ‘panoptic’ order to discuss the ways the, ‘Funniest Security Camera Moments of All Time’ from America’s Funniest Home Videos uses found footage comedies to define our modern day visual culture.…
Imagine you re having the worst morning of you 're life. Everything that could go wrong has, and to top it off, you have five minute until you are tardy for school. After a while of slow driving in the rain and hurried persistence on your part, your parent(s) finally pull(s) up to the school; you are late. You receive a tardy and now have detention even though being late wasn 't your fault. This is an unfair punishment for someone that is not responsible for when they arrive. Unfortunately,…

Spanking has long been implemented as a form of discipline to correct misbehavior in children. As the proverb goes, “Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them”. While spanking, or more professionally referred to as corporal punishment, has stood as a tried and trusted means of discipline, controversy regarding its integrity, value, and effects has been brought to serious question; and really, this shouldn’t be terribly…

Theory of Change Management Peter Senge promotes the idea of a Learning Organization as a theory of change management in his book ‘The Fifth Discipline’. Senge (2006) encourages the “rethinking of corporate philosophy” and a commitment to individual learning to establish a learning organization. Individual learning, according to Senge (2006), does not guarantee a learning organization, but without it, learning organization is impossible. Individual learning, therefore, is key to the…
Children are born as a clean slate and they become how we mould them. Those tiny beings do not know what is the so called “correct” behaviour in a particular situation and it is our duty as parents to let them know about the same.

These days, a video of a small girl being punished and beaten is going viral as it is really disturbing to see the little one being…
