A different and influential way of thinking about institutions:

Michel Foucault (1926 – 1984), (source of image)

He was interested in comparing relationship and individual before and after the institutions. As citizens we are subject to the power of the state and the study of institutions. He like to research how power in past it was a brutal force and violence to gain control whereas modern state tend to get citizens to internalise was was correct behaviour and what wasn’t so you become your own policewoman because we don’t always have people there to brutally track you if you do something wrong. This leads me to consider the idea of Power,  and what is is how it differs.

“Knowledge is power” and “power is power”
