On September 11, 2001, thousands of American citizens from New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania were going through their daily routines: waking up to catch the bus, preparing breakfast for their families and saying their farewells before the commute to work or school.

There are many outlets in which officials can gain the ability to scrutinize, regulate, and influence every action and behavior one makes therefore allowing surveillance to greatly affect the use of public space by standardizing who, when and where protests, art and many other social activities can occur.

papal authority in a time of conflict with the power of King Phillip “the fair” of France. The separation of church and kings had never been completely separate but this conflict brought the issue to the fore. Boniface was attempting to hold on to papal authority in a time when ‘temporal’ or Kingly power was rising and steadily overlapping with the generally accepted spiritual sphere of authority. He outlines the supremacy of the pope’s authority on earth, and over other forms of authority as…
