Document Summary

A look into the relevance of this theory in. In developed countries such as canada, people are expected to obey and follow the rules. Wether they be speeding laws implemented by the state or restrictions on the amount of refills at a mcdonalds we follow these rules, usually without hesitation. Now there is punishment for breaking rules, but is it punishment that forces us to blindly obey regulations or merely the idea that we will almost surely be caught if a rule is broken. This idea of our minds being trained to follow these rules due to constant monitoring and surveillance is the basis of michel foucault"s theory of disciplinary power which is evident throughout canadian society. Foucault"s theory of disciplinary power involves the training the mind rather than forcing it, which if done effectively creates citizens that need little guidance from the state.
