Discipline and compulsion are the prices we pay for modern life, says Michel Foucault en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discipline_and_Pun... is one part of a vast network, including schools, military institutions, hospitals, and factories, which build a panoptic society for its members. This system creates “…disciplinary careers…” (Discipline and Punish, p. 300) for those locked within its corridors.

It is operated under the scientific authority of medicine, psychology, and criminology. As well, it operates according to principles which ensure that it “…cannot fail to produce delinquents. ” (Discipline and Punish, p.

266) Delinquency, indeed, is produced when social petty crime (such as taking wood in the lord's lands) is no longer tolerated, creating a class of specialized "delinquents" which acts as the police's proxy in surveillance of society.

2 I don't know if you mean prisons in the military or are generalizing military institutions with corrective ones. I am assuming you or the article is,and in my opinion the military should not be categorized with prisons. Especially in the U.S.,it is all voluntary and prisons are not a voluntary entry program.

I served in the military so I disagree about creating deliquency in our society,although other problems do arise,especially from military personnel that have experienced combat. This user has been banned from Askville.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
