Michel Foucault’s The History of Sexuality sheds light on the Victorian era and how the regulation of discourses on sex reveals that Victorian society is more perverse than contemporary society thinks of it. A similar approach can be applied to contemporary society and political discourse. During the 2016 presidential election, The Washington Post released a video of current President-elect Donald Trump bragging about what many consider to be sexually assaulting women.

An ideal society is a model that strives to function the most efficiently. Both Thomas More’s Utopia and Michel de Montaigne’s “Of Cannibals” state the fundamentals of specific ideal societies.

I favor the philosophy of Michel Foucault more than the Greek philosopher Plato on the ground since Michel Foucault claims seem to give better insight to how the society of today attempts to view and intrepid sexuality.
