Spoiled and Indulged Children Spoiled, literally meaning to diminish, destroy or devalue the quality of something is an adjective often applied to people. With the word being commonly used amongst adolescents, when applied to children, spoiled refers to a child being overindulged by their parents.

Implying that: spoiled children receive anything they please without having to use competence or effort…

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood shows an imaginative attempt to conceive a future where women have lost their autonomy and rights, and where the American government is run by conservative moral and religious ideals. Atwood creates a dystopian story which frames itself through Michel Foucault’s Panopticon. The panoptic establishment relies upon complete visibility, a hierarchical organization of power, and an enclosed space. These three concepts are all prevalent throughout the novel. The…

According to Michel Foucault in his book Discipline and Punish, the Panopticon is a prison designed to establish power and control of one individual over the prisoners through observation. This observation is achieved through the prison’s annular structure, with the prisoners in confined cells facing the center, and the supervisor in a central tower (Foucault 200). The ring-like structure and the central tower allow the supervisor to see all inmates while simultaneously prohibiting them from…

Sociologist Michael Foucault argues that the existence of power is everywhere, and it influences society and how individuals behave (Mason 2016). He uses his interpretation of Jeremy Bentham’s concept of the Panopticon, to explain this phenomenon. Bentham defines the Panopticon as a circular pillar structure in the center of a prison that is used for the surveillance of prisoners.

Children who are taught, or conditioned one way may have different behavioral characteristics than kids taught other certain ways. In today’s society, child behavior is generally controlled through the amount of parenting provided, and through the exposure of being able to make one’s own decisions. There are pros and cons to both issues, and ethically,…

Being on time, or punctual, has always been an important quality in American culture. People who tend to be on time are perceived to be more responsible and organized, whereas those who aren’t always on time tend to be perceived as the opposite. Personally, I agree with the text that describes being on time as being there about five minutes before the intended time of arrival. My mother taught me this tactic and I’ve seen the effects of people who aren’t on time, such as my brothers. In grade…

Is It Discipline or Is It Abuse? He hit me. Multiple times. I keep asking why but he would give me the same excuse, that I need discipline. The thing was I wasn’t bad. So, I didn’t know why he hit me. On the other hand, my little brother was the meanest, and the worst kind there was. My dad hit him too, but not because he wanted to, but because he had to show him discipline. My little brother needed it. The way my father hit me and hit him was different. The difference was abuse and…

Formal development of MASINT brought those collective intelligence practices…
