Week 2 Exercise: What is "Discipline"?

Purpose

This exercise will give you the opportunity to articulate to yourself one of the principal terms that we will be examining this semester, as well as its relevance to your present and future writing.

Writing

After reading the chapters by Foucault and Dewey on "discipline" and drawing from your previous knowledge of the term, compose a 250 word definition. Your definition should be placed into conversation with (i.e., I agree with..., I disagree with...) Foucault's and Dewey's understanding of the term.

Submit your work prior to class (7 pm) in the body of an email through Blackboard messages. Your work will receive a process evaluation.
