Poetry and thought are often interpreted as too lofty for the realm of politics, a realm dominated power (Berlin: 2004). Yet memory, as elaborated by poets should always be an exercise in education. The value of narrative, writing, and poetry is high. For ‘the very fact that so great of an enterprise as the Trojan War could have been forgotten without a poet to immortalize it several hundred years later offered only too good an example of what could happen to human greatness if it had nothing…

In Discipline and Punish, Michel Foucault breaks down the premises of a panoptic system, outlining the mechanics through which it controls a population and linking it to other structures seen throughout a society, such as in prisons and schools. An example of such evident in the implementation of new grading rubrics for English teachers across America in 1923. The essays of 12th graders nationwide, who wrote under the same conditions, formed the base of a design for a national rubric, consisting…

tendency of group mentality is known at an early age. “The Perils of Obedience”, written by Stanley Milgram makes points that prove that the habit of following the group is not so easily broken. Milgram mentions that a humans desire to please an authority figure is so high that they are willing to do almost anything. Humans acting as sheep is a theory that very accuratetly represents the mindless following that many take in order to fit in. Lessing presents an eye opening, yet practically…

public health through advertisements are ethically questionable at best. Their advertisements use various fallacies to manipulate the public into reducing their consumption of sugary drinks; a fallacy of single cause disguised as fact or an appeal to authority and emotion in place of evidence and data. These underhanded tactics violate the major underpinning and inherent value of a plural and just society, the freedom of choice. The autonomy to make your own decisions, free of any external…

Fancy Title In his 1963 essay, “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem,” philosopher Erich Fromm argues that disobedience to authority started human history and blind obedience may cause its destruction. Fromm’s view on obedience to authority is that when we obey authority, even when it goes against our own reasoning and morals, then that obedience is cowardly and destructive while any act affirming individual will and autonomy is an act of freedom. Humanity could easily destroy…

feel that I can be my best self, not only as just teacher but also as a person, when I can make connections with the individuals with whom I am interacting. For me, forming meaningful and purposeful relationships with students is essential to the authority I will attempt to implement in my class. It is my belief that by the process of forming meaningful relationships with and between students in a classroom setting in ways that do not feel contrived, students will be able to find meaningful…

In my opinion, creating a new court would not help the ICC, rather it would harm its interest in a way that it would totally undermine the judicial powers of the ICC. 11. Can the facts exposed by the ICC help to improve the international community even if the ICC itself doesn 't put many criminals in prison? Even if the facts are exposed by the ICC, it would…

“don’t do that!” Power is inherent in all arenas of life from family to the workplace to our relationships. We start to learn and become more exposed to power as soon as we attend school, with a certain structure in place that assures some line of authority. As university students, we should all by now have a reasonably decent gist on the basic elements of organisational power as it has become…

era. It starts off with locking people up in their own house, and being punished if you lie about a loved one being infected. This is where you start to see the power in their society build up. The people did not put an end to the power that the authorities had over them. This leads up to the idea and construction of the panopticon; which led people to start believing in a new theory. The panopticon at that time was believed to form structure in their society by building this prison system at…
