I’m working on a political science discussion question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.
Please answer all the questions listed This week’s readings center around Foucault, who focused on the state’s means of governing the individual and maintaining social control. To help, this link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBpI7PxwjzU) summarizes Foucault’s governmentality argument… Here are this week’s questions:
1. What does Foucault (1982) mean by the term “subject”?
2. Define and explain in detail the three types of struggles that subjects engage in?
3. According to Foucault, how must power be analyzed, and how does the government exercise its power over subjects?
4. According to Garland (1997), what is governmentality? How does the state/government influence the behaviors of individuals? Where is the government’s power located?
5. According to Garland, how has people’s thinking about crime control changed in recent years? How has the government been instrumental in shaping the way people think about crime? How do current penal regimes respond to the ‘situational man’?
