OBEDIENCE

A certain amount of obedience is a given in society. Milgram and others observe that social order would not be possible unless individuals are willing to surrender a portion of their autonomy, their free will, to the state. David Brooks emphasizes the importance, and the paradoxes, of what he calls -follower-ship.” We see a similar sentiment expressed by the Grand Inquisitor when he argues, “never was there anything more unbearable to the human race than personal freedom!” (5). Even Socrates, in Onto, maintains that the fabric of society itself requires obedience to the state. So, this essay will explore the degree to which obedience is a necessary prerequisite to an orderly society. • Apply the major principles of the Panopticon to the events in The Machine Stops. How does Foucault’s theory help to explain the extent to which Vashti conforms to social norms? Requirements: • Essay must be at least 1600 typed words and adhere to the standards set forth on the class format handout. • Essay must draw from 1 primary source (either The Grand Inquisitor or The Machine Stops) and at least 5 secondary sources (You may use any of the articles read in class and/or articles and essays found using our library and databases).
