character 's destiny; or the main character is presented as a good person in the play, but oracles caused them to do bad things. A classic Greek play such as Oedipus can be perceived not only as an art in literary work but also as an analysis of Foucault 's theory of power and power relations between the king and the seer of the kingdom. Phillip and Huntley (1995) elaborates that character is a person, animal, initiate object on group representing a unique approach to dealing with the story’s problem

punishments like the medieval gallows, pillory, flogging, and the torture wheel, the original prison, the Panopticon, was created as a more humane method as, “the principle of moderation in punishment… is articulated first as a discover of the heart” (Foucault, 1977. p.91). The design was simple and effective: the cells were built side by side into a large circle, and circles of cells were stacked and facing inwards. At the direct center stood a watchtower with a perfect 360 degree view of the cells.

“Discipline and Punish the Birth of Prisons” goes beyond the walls of the prison system. Foucault gives a detailed description of the transition of discipline and punishment beginning in the seventeenth century. Foucault begins with insight into the tortures forms of punishment common in the seventeenth century. The torture involved prisoners being placed on a scaffold while holding a two pound torch of burning wax. There the flesh would be torn from their body with hot pincers before their bodies

B.quintana is a part of the bacteria kingdom and was originally known as Rickettsia quintana in the early 1900s when trench fever was first identified. Foucault, Brouqui, and Raoult state, “R.quintana was classified in the genus Rochalimaea, tribe Rickettsiae, family Rickettsiaceae” (2006). However, the genus Bartonella was removed from the order and put into another one. The genus now consists of many different

non-observable conflict alters the wants of those it exercises power over, with this not being in their true interest (Lukes 2005: 25). Subsequently, I will turn the attention to Michel Foucault’s definition of power as a “multiplicity of force relations” (Foucault 1978: 92) and its link with Hannah Arendt’s argument that power is sustained by the masses (Arendt, in Ball 1993: 549). These ideas are not the same but, in terms of capitalism, similarities can be drawn, which suggests not only that capitalism exerts

This sociological study will define the relationship between public sociology to the tradition of Positivism. Historically, Positivistic Theory is based on a strict adherence to the scientific aspects of economy and materialism, which seek to analyze society in terms of the physicality of culture and social phenomenon. These traditions stem from the growth of scientific thought and economic analysis found in Marxism, and other ideologies that analyze the material qualities of a culture. In this manner

understand the rules of society such as having any sort of emotion response. Emotions are often suppressed using the drug Soma which becomes a regulation that is consistently applied socially. According to George Ritzer, on a similar note, McDonalds has become the model for both rational and bureaucratic principles in modern society. Focused on the restaurant chain, McDonalds, his theory focuses on four main concepts that are extraordinarily similar to Weber’s concepts of rationalization. Ritzer

Olive Pendergast the main character of Easy A, lives what is at first a seemingly normal life in the early 2000s until she is thrown into the role of the school adulterous. This seemingly mundane life transforms after one lie leads into a string of rumors damaging her reputation.

Because of this new peer relationship, Olive acts in ways that are not of her nature .In this particular scene

An achievement of television in the new millennium is an inclusion of gay, lesbian, and bisexual characters who play central roles on popular series. In 2000, Queer as Folk premiered, chronicling the lives of a group of gay men and women, which presented their day-to-day existence as distinctly homosexual to the audience. The characters were rarely represented in a way that did not call attention to their sexual orientation or struggles that they faced as sexual minorities, such as parental rejection

structured. This combination of the internet, cell phones, and the willing participants create our societal panopticon that is intent on regulating behavior. Through its mere existence and omnipresence this structure controls and has power panoptic power. Foucault describes the panopticon as a “political technology” and that this design imposes on the prisoner that at any time, they could be
