Poststructural and Postmodern Theories: Michael Foucault

I’m working on a sociology discussion question and need guidance to help me learn.

Foucault argued that today’s society can be thought of as a disciplinary society because of the many technologies of surveillance that have become a normal and routine daily activity. Modern day examples include routine inspections in the workplace, rigorous training in procedures and protocols, and standardized work quotas. Briefly describe Foucault’s disciplinary society and offer examples of his theory from your daily life.
