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,…

I interviewed Timothy Beatty who is the dad of my friend Jonathan. I chose him because he works in software engineering, but majored in marine biology while minoring in chemistry and computer science engineering. This intrigued me because in high school I took an oceanography class and fell in love with the study, I wanted to major in oceanography and minor in marine biology, but I figured engineering would be more economic. I still love engineering, so it is not something I’m doing just for the…

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…

Foucault was big on the relationship between knowledge and power. People took action once they saw Wallace as a threat and they put her in her place.

When I was a child, Disney Princesses like Belle and Cinderella were my idols. There was some kind of independence and strength found within the characters. However, in retrospect I cannot help but notice a male gaze that is ominous over both of these films. The female characters are presented in a way that fits the mold of stereotypes and in turn objectifies them as prizes to be won. Cinderella and Belle became no more than beautiful damsels in distress. Then instead of saving themselves, a…

is controlling their relations, and the second is separating them out of their dangerous mixtures. This was done by supervision and discipline.
