Directions: Answer the following questions in detail after reading Michel Foucault’s “Panopticism” essay from his famous work, Discipline and Punish. Make sure that you: answer each question completely, that you use grammatically correct sentences, and number each of your answers, so there is no confusion. You may use passages and text from the reading to support your answers. If you do so, make sure to use the MLA format so that you do not get into trouble with plagiarism. You may also watch the following documentary clip for a helpful visual reference.
1.) Give examples of at least 3 panopticons that you have encountered in your every day life.
2.) Explain in detail, do you think it is acceptable to use the concept of panopticism to: separate students, keep them under surveillance even if they haven’t broken laws, and subject them to police monitoring at the schools (high schools, middles schools, and colleges) that they attend?
3.) What potential problems do you see with “panopticons” as Foucault describes them becoming the dominant institutional model in our current society?
4.) What can ordinary people do, if they find themselves within a panoptic system, and the people who are at the top of the hierarchy of power are corrupt? Explain in detail.
5.) Share your feelings, thoughts, and impressions of “panopticism.”
