The Discipline of Innovation by Peter F. Drucker highlights some key concepts of innovation and facilitates a discussion of sorts regarding how much of innovation is inspiration and how much of it is actually hard work. Innovation in itself is described early on as more of a matter of thinking than of doing. After expending effort to describe the essence of innovation and what it truly is, Drucker begins to discuss the fact that innovation has several specific sources. Furthermore, the remainder…

You could say parsimony refers to the concept of KISS (Keep it simple stupid). It is the idea that we should keep theories as simple and pragmatic as possible and it is an important cornerstone of the discipline of psychology and science in general. Parsimony means that if we have two competing theories we will use the simplest one. The canon of parsimony says that we should be frugal in developing theories by avoiding unnecessary concepts, again going back to the pragmatic. The idea…

In Discipline and Punish, Foucault explains how disciplinary power is used to produce subjects who internalize power and as a result, regulate themselves as their own jailors. Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon model is brought up as a prime example of a form of technological power used in the mid- 19th Century to generate this disciplinary power. The model uses a tower which is placed at the center of a circular prison building. From this tower, the wardens and guards are able to view any prisoner at…

Discipline is a concept everyone is aware of, but few truly understand (Fern, 2013). School policies are principles made to establish discipline in school. Discipline ensures order, veracity, and punctuality. It is a necessity in achieving a structured environment to elevate and promote quality learning, productivity, and efficiency. Obedience plays a vital role in the individual’s decision-making practices. This individual habit of keen obedience may be equipped by education and training.…

In Discipline and Punish by Michel Foucault, the author shows how over time punishment has changed. Specifically, he notes that punishment has moved away from targeting the body, and instead, now focuses on the soul. This change led to the idea that it was not only important to determine who committed the crime, but also why, as it would give greater insight into the problem, and offer better solutions. As such, I argue that if you follow Foucault’s analysis of how and why punishment changed it…

Jim Rohn once said, “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments”(Jim Rohn) but when does discipline become abuse?
