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,…
Parent’s always wondered what types of discipline can help their child’s mental and emotional health. Understanding the child’s temperament creates a special parent-child bond. Discipline is the way parents teach their child what type of behavior is appropriate and what is not appropriate. The word discipline brings to mind the punishment of a child; however, discipline does not stop once the childhood ends. Child discipline should be used by parents in the development of their child’s mental…
Compiled by Christina Rodriguez of the University of Utah, Parental Discipline and Abuse Potential Affects on Child Depression, Anxiety, and Attributions examines how the treatment of children varies across a broad spectrum of variables.

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…
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…
Introduction Since ancient times, intelligence tactics and espionage have evolved and become more complex with the changing of the global landscape and culture. American intelligence, in particular, has seen many changes during its lifetime and continues to adjust to the vicissitudes of the nation—although, these changes have not always been the most effective. History implies that effective transformation rarely occurs during uneventful times. Instead, significant adjustments often result…

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. However, many parents get really strict and handle their kids very sternly if they are unable to master a socially accepted behavior. 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…
