    Due to this, anyone can be taken and transformed into a soldier, unlike in the previous century when a soldier had to be found. This idea can be portrayed through a poster by the marines who promoted the idea of ‘one good man, six weeks better.’ This shows disciplinary power working in a tiny, intimate, controlled manner to create predictable results. It operates on human beings as if they are clay, changing their hearts and minds in order to make them into a particular individual. This was a new

    A Panopticon is a structure designed to where subjects can be observed from a central viewpoint, but cannot view each other. Why can the Central tower supervise the inmates while the inmates cannot supervise others?
