Foucault's View on Education System and Power Dynamics

Foucault argues that in the education system, those in power control the curriculum, shaping what is considered normal and determining who falls outside of this norm. By labeling individuals as anomalies in a negative way, such as extremists or mentally ill, a system of conformity is encouraged. Foucault does not advocate for the elimination of norms but aims to comprehend how modern power dynamics operate through the categorization of social anomalies. This process mirrors the asymmetry in knowledge levels between observers and the observed in the Panopticon.
