...Foucault’s Right of Death and Power over Life starts by explaining how sovereign power, entitled itself with the ability and right to decide to what extent bodies were worth of life or deserved death. He mentions that the West has been re-shaping its discourse on what bodies are desirable, non-desirable and what feature, actions, behaviors and so on, are attached to each one of these types of bodies. Through this approach, he introduces the concept of bio-power, or in other words disciplining the politics of the human body. By stating the regulatory role of bio-politics with a population he describes how power is exercised to administrate, manage and calculate (p. 140) the populations’ bodies. The concept of ‘population’ which he defined previously...

...week of grounding. Funny thing, though, even though Chuck’s parents and my parents were non-smokers, Chuck smokes a minimum of a pack of cigarettes a day now, whereas I have never smoked a cigarette since then. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a single thing about that experience or the others that accompanied my mistakes. I learned valuable lessons about right and wrong and accepting the consequences of my actions. A major controversy in American society today is the debate on the use of corporal punishment by parents for disciplining their children. The use of corporal punishment has both supporters and opponents with opinions, statistics, and evidence for their views on the issue. I believe there is a big difference in a reasonable use of force for discipline and child abuse. Having experienced corporal punishment in my own upbringing and seeing how it has affected my life, I support the reasonable use of corporal punishment by parents in disciplining their children. The reasonable use of corporal punishment is permitted in all 50 of the United States. According to a poll taken by ABC News in November 2002, 50% of parents in the United States spank their children...

...with the educational process, although his speech had not contained any obscenities. Students can be penalized for giving a speech that disrupts the school’s mission of education. Court found it was appropriate for a school to prohibit use of vulgar and offensive language. The Court held, by a 7-2 margin, that school officials acted within the Constitution by disciplining Fraser. The Court had earlier held, in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School Board, that students do not shed their constitutional rights at the school gate. In that case, the Court said that the First Amendment gave students the right to wear black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. Chief Justice Burger, who dealt with both cases, pointed out that there was a huge difference between the protest in Tinker, which dealt with a major issue of public policy, and the lewdness of Fraser's speech. "The purpose of public education in America is to teach fundamental values," wrote Burger. "These fundamental values…must…include consideration of the political sensibilities of other students." Does the first amendment prevent a school from disciplining a high school student for giving a lewd speech at a school assembly? No. Along with Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, a case involving a school district that censored a student newspaper, the Bethel case shows the Court re-examining the issue of student expression in the schools and finding that certain limits on expression are permitted by the First Amendment...

...growth mentally and physically, and how to be consistent. Discipline is often a touchy subject when it involves a legal situation. Parents are often confused about where to draw the line between utterly innocent disciplining or perhaps overdoing things which can result in what could be considered abusive behavior. It is important to discuss the various styles of parenting. For instance; permissive parenting is someone who displays a lack of discipline with little or no boundaries, but is otherwise a loving parent. Setting boundaries helps children build confidence instead of insecurity. Next is Neglectful Parenting. One who may neglect their children by not making the effort to discipline or guide them as they are simply too lazy to expend the time necessary. Neglecting children can scar them deeply emotionally. Then, there is Authoritarian Parenting -someone that does not show any affection but is focused only on control and disciplining. This style of parenting can lead to unnecessary arguments and resentment between parent and child or parent and spouse. Last but not least there is an authoritative parent. Children’s growth will be stunted from an early age if care is not taken from infancy. In early childhood, the body is in constant physical change, so it is imperative to monitor the progress of each child. They begin to lose baby fat they have developed and...

...discipline ourselves. We have to be submissive and be willing to do it. We cannot have a bad attitude when we decide to humble ourselves before God. There are so many different things that we can fast. We do not only have to fast food but we can also fast from media. Fasting brings us closer to God and it strengths our relationship with him. When we fast we are doing it to please God. When we are fasting, we cannot think that we are being starved from something or that something is being taken away from us. We are disciplining ourselves and separating from the world. “We are causing the natural body with its natural human desires to be submitted to the spiritual man within us (Malcomson, Fasting).” There are many different ways that we can fast. People can fast together as a group or even fast on different days throughout the week. You can also do a fast by yourself. In the bible, we are supposed to work and help one another. We need to be a untified and glorified body of Christ. If there is no unity in a church, it will fall apart. Fasting is biblical, and just because it is not required in the bible does not mean that we should not partake in it. Our flesh needs to be disciplined. If Jesus can remain on the cross for three days we can fast a day for the Lord. When you are doing a media fast, you are refraining from using the internet. That means Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. This is great because you are disconnecting yourself from the world. When you feel the urge to...

...CJS/230 Instructor: David Foltzer June 6, 2013 Prison Rehabilitation Prison rehabilitation are programs that inmates are put through in order to try and change their way of thinking and behavior pattern so that they are able to function without criminal activities once they are released back into the community. These programs may consist of counseling for drug and substance abusers as well. Rehabilitation programs are considered essential in reducing the number of repeat offenders. Criminal rehabilitation is also thought to help in reducing the issues of prisons being over crowded. The more inmates that are able to take advantage of the resources that are given to them the less likely they are to return back to prison. While most individuals will argue that those who break the law deserve what sentence they are given, offering rehabilitation is not only beneficial for the community but society as well. Unless these inmates are given a life sentence it is imperative that they receive some forms of rehab in order to maintain a normal life style that doesn’t affect the community in a negative way. Rehabilitation techniques vary according to the nature of the offender, the type of offence they may have committed, and the institution in which they have been sentenced to. Techniques vary from educational and vocational training to help the offender learn a skill for...

All of the mentioned friends play a vital roles as The Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), Corporal punishment in today’s world is the deliberate infliction of pain for disciplining a behavior deemed unacceptable. This form on discipline is considered to be used to correct behavior but does it instill aggressive behavior that will lead to domestic violence or even child abuse. This form of punishment is considered to be the most commonly used form of discipline in America today and is currently legal. This type of discipline is not favorable in today’s society and statistics indicate it will lead to future aggression later in life? The official definition of corporal punishment is a form of physical punishment that involves the deliberate infliction of pain as retribution for an offence, or for the purpose of disciplining or reforming a wrongdoer, or to deter attitudes or behavior deemed unacceptable.

...end. They believe in karma that what you do in your life and how you treat people will determine what happens in your afterlife. Like I said earlier Western Religions when you sin and continue to live a bad life you will go to hell. In Hinduism you are born into a caste and you will follow the rule of which ever sex is the ruler. With that being said it means that women are inferior. In Christianity and the Western Religions us women must abide by man, he is the provider and man of the house and we submit to him. For enlightenment, Eastern Religions do things like quieting the mind with yoga exercises or Tai chi. Western Religions will fast and diet, therefore disciplining the body. They do this because the human body for them is a source of temptation and sin and it’s dual separation of the soul from the body. Last but not least Eastern religions believe in reincarnation. Western religions do not. The western religions believe that one life you have to live you have to do it...

...“The use of body cameras should both reduce the use of force and lessen the need and the opportunity to lie about”, says Don Sim and Jim Bueerman from Newspaper Los Angeles Times. The use of body cameras will make police and citizens behave better because it reduces dishonesty, provides police superiors with a potent tool for reliable supervision and it should improve the relationship between police forces and their constituent communities. First and foremost, if someone had to lie to get them out of trouble … most likely they will. But with the use of body cameras it will reduce ALL dishonesty. According to the text, “In general, watching body camera footage should reduce dishonesty in incident reports. When footage reveals unambiguous misconduct, officers would be foolish to file dishonesty reports”. To clarify, body cameras are our one way ticket to honesty when it comes to incidents with officers and suspects. As well as reduced dishonesty, police body cameras provides police superiors with a...

...Legal rights are those bestowed onto a person by a given legal system. The law of obligations is one branch of private law under the civil law legal system. It is the body of rules that organises and regulates the rights and duties arising between individuals. Both parents and children have rights and obligations regarding the idea of discipline, and in Australia it is effective, however, only to a certain extent. Notions of justice regarding fairness, equality, access, timeliness, enforceability and resource efficiency need to be addressed when considering these rights and obligations of parents and children regarding discipline. Discipline in the form of smacking in more recent years has become a fairly controversial topic. It is debatable in the sense that new concepts have been raised in that smacking may have long and short-term psychological effects on the child. However, it is also known that there is a clear difference between smacking and child abuse, and in terms of child abuse Australia has many forms legislation in protecting the rights of child in its current state. It is ineffective in terms whereby parents in Australia have the right to implement discipline in their own terms, on the grounds they are not not overseeing boundaries in physical punishment constituting child abuse, therefore resulting in psychological trauma. Using physical pain or even just a threat of physical pain to teach/educate/better a persons decision may be considered to many wrong. The...

...It is perfect because it is through our breath the life force enters our bodies, so it is reacquainting ourselves with the rhythmic flow of Source energy. Most importantly, approach this with a sense of fun! Our Spiritual journey begins and ends within. Breath Awareness Meditation Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Take a few moments to "simply be". Notice whatever is being experienced in the moment - sounds, physical sensations, thoughts, feelings - without trying to do anything about it. Continue like this a little while, allowing yourself to settle down. Now bring the attention to the breath. Simply notice the breath as it moves in and out as the body inhales and exhales. Notice how the breath moves in and out automatically, effortlessly. Don't try to manipulate it in any way. Notice all the details of the experience of breathing - the feeling of the air moving in and out of the nose, the way the body moves as it breathes, etc. The mind will wander away from the breath - that's fine, it doesn't matter. That's a part of the meditation! When you notice that you are no longer observing the breath, easily bring your attention back to...

...Professional Ethics Professional ethics concerns the moral issues that arise because of the specialist knowledge that professionals attain, and how the use of this knowledge should be governed when providing a service to the public. The professional carries additional moral responsibilities to those held by the population in general. This is because professionals are capable of making and acting on an informed decision in situations that the general public cannot, because they have not received the relevant training. You cannot be held accountable for failing to do something that you do not have the ability to do. Ethics are rules and values used in a professional setting. In the workplace managers and supervisors should set the standard for using ethics by showing respect, being honest, and promoting trust. If the management team uses unethical forms of communication, the team and business can fail. Ethics are used world-wide in large companies and small businesses. Questions arise as to the ethical limits of the professional’s responsibility and how power and authority should be used in service to the client and society. Most professions have internally enforced codes of practice that members of the profession must follow, to prevent exploitation of the client and preserve the integrity of the profession. This is not only to the benefit of the client but to the benefit of those belonging to the particular profession. It is a fact that European nations are following the...

In a letter to his son, Coates begins with his experience on a talk show where he was asked about his body, to which he responds honestly that American history is to blame. He feels as though there is a palpable distinction between the hosts’ body and his own as a result of the history of oppression black people faced at the hand of white america. Ultimately, the most prevailing message of this book is that the success and progress of white america was made possible at the expense of black bodies. Coates mentions the racist murders of Eric Garner, Mike Brown, John...
