Paper Summary:

This paper looks at two different views of society as seen by Michel Foucault in "Discipline and Punish" and Sandra Lee Bartky in her book "Femininity and Domination". The paper investigates how each observes a power struggle in our society. Foucault argues that it is through our society's power structure that our current society has evolved alongside the prison, whereas Bartky argues that the current power structure of society creates a male dominated society.

From the Paper:

"The town fought the plague by implementing strict discipline on the whole society. It was one of the first times the disciplinary society emerged as a power structure. With the three steps to docility, methods through which discipline spread, and panopticism our society, as Foucault argues, has turned into a prison society."
