Put the following quote into your own words:

n  “By means of such surveillance, disciplinary power became an ‘integrated’ system, linked from the inside to the economy and to the aims of the mechanism in which it was practiced. It was also organized as a multiple, automatic, and anonymous power; for although surveillance rests on individuals, its functioning is that of a network of relations from top to bottom, but also to a certain extent, from bottom to top and laterally. The power in the hierarchized surveillance of the disciplines is not possessed as a thing, or transferred as a property; it functions like a piece of machinery. And, although it is true that its pyramidal organization gives it a head, it is the apparatus as a whole that produces ‘power’ and distributes individuals in this permanent and continuous field.” (pp 176-77)

  1. By surveying the masses the heads of the hierarchy have gained a measure of control on thos below them. The power they posses comes from this power. The power that the common man comes from ththe power the heads of the hierarchy give us. This power is passed up and down periodically as if it is a cycle. Without the bottom of the system the top wouldn't have their power.

  2. Discipline is linked in to the technology that we have created. It has given us a sense of security from the other person. Society functions like technology. It needs everyone to be involved in order to keep the system up and running.

  3. From the available technology to allow so much observance and recollection of facts, it has developed a structure in which society interacts. Based off of variables of the economy to politics, is a system in which requires several parts from the whole to work. It is a database of the past, present t,can't predictions of the future. This power can work in any way within the types of social establishments. This system provides a work ethic with the different levels of power. Everyone has a different role in the power, and the individuals fall into the trap of not having power from one with the same source of power giving them that influence.

  4. The means of disciplinary power have become a known system which is linked to the inside of the economy and aims to be practiced. It is also organized as multiple, automatic, and anonymous power for which the network of relations functions. The power in higher surveillance of disciplines is not a thing which is possessed or as a transferred property. It distributes power to individuals in the permanent and continuous field.

  5. From what has been seen, power in discipline systems like prisons is linked to the economy and the way it is practiced. We can also recognize this power as multiple, automatic and anonymous. Even though surveillance rests on each individual person, it works from the top of the network of people to the individual. The power of surveillance is not something that can be possessed as a thing, it functions like a machine. The pyramidal organization produces unequal power as a whole.

  6. Through surveillance, power has become linked with the economy and aimed at machinery. Disciplinary power has been organized as multiple, automatic, and anonymous since although surveillance is individualized, it functions through a network of relationships from top to bottom of bottom to top. This power is not possessed as a thing or property but it is like a piece of machinery. Although this things needs an organization to work, it acts as the complex part which makes the machine run.

  7. This system in which we are subjected to becomes our new natural thought process. We start to keep ourselves subjected to this due to its inforcment. This is what was ment to happen like a working cog allowing results. Power is this ability to control with little physical need due to much mental conditioning

  8. Through these means of surveillance that people have created, becomes a sense of of our own discipline. Linked to the ways it was created, for economic and business means. Although there is a hierarchy that is formed, every individual is in some part of it. Rather than being a a definite thing, this form of discipline is more like a machine/processed. This process involves the people at the bottom as much as it does those who are on top.

  9. By being observant and interpretative of the common people. The higher powers have created a self operating system, that has its own cycle.Their have been different parts established through surveillance to create this system. Power though, is distributed throughout different levels and they feed off each other.

  12. Disciplinary powers became a necessity to society. It is made to be a substantial force controlled by the house of powers(no one knows exactly who controls it). The house of powers uses "disciplinary powers" as a way of control . These powers control and influence the behavior of groups. Surveillance powers functions as a machine, and the hierarchal system functions as the head.

  13. In today's age, discipline and power have becomes interwoven into our government and society. The power us the governed receive comes from those above us. The thing about this power is that it is all based on a relationship. One side cannot become too powerful as the whole system would be destroyed.

  14. Surveillance has caused power to become a part of economics. Disciplinary power are now multiple, automatic, and anonymous. Although surveillance is individualized; the Disciplinary power functions cause it to work through relationships of top and bottom. The power is work similarity to machinery by complex parts which focus on order and efficiency.

  15. With surveillance the power had been put together with economics. But disciplinary nations are needed within the society to keep things under control. Because the house of powers uses the disciplinary powers as a way for control for view. Different powers comes with the different levels.

  16. Economics put together the power through surveillance. However, we will always need a form of power, or authority, to enforce a form of discipline that will keep some things in check and order. There must also be a balance, so that one power cannot overcome the entire untied powers and destroy the order.

  17. Disciplinary power becomes a system that is integrated due to surveillance. It in internally linked to the economy and the mechanism that it was practiced in. Organized as a multiple, automatic, and anonymous power; even though the surveillance is under the control of individuals, it functions via the relations network from top to bottom, as well as laterally from bottom to top.

  18. "By method for such observation, disciplinary force turned into an "incorporated" framework, connected from within to the economy and to the points of the system in which it was drilled. It was additionally sorted out as a various, programmed, and mysterious force; for in spite of the fact that observation lays on people, its working is that of a system of relations through and through, additionally to a certain degree, from base to top and horizontally. The force in the step by step observation of the orders is not had as a thing, or exchanged as a property; it capacities like a bit of apparatus. Also, despite the fact that beyond any doubt its pyramidal association issues it a head, it is the device overall that delivers "control" and disperses people in this perpetual and constant field."

  19. Through surveillance, power has become attached with the economy and aimed at machinery. Disciplinary power has been organized as multiple, automatic, and anonymous since although surveillance is individualized, it functions through a network of relationships from top to bottom of bottom to top. This power is not possessed as a thing or property but it is like a piece of machinery. These things need an organization to work. It acts as the complex part which makes the machine run.
