Rules Are Made Brought To Death World
410 words
Michael Foucault's writing in Right of Death and
Power Over Life is one of the most confusing and
difficult pieces of literature I have ever read.
He thinks that the world was not created to have
rules and laws; and by creating these laws we are
just creating problems for the entire world.
Foucault says that if a king were to wage war on
his enemy, and required that his men fight, then
the king is not directly proposing their death,
because it was an indirect power of life or death.
However if t...

injection. He talks about how lethal injection is
more technologically modernized and more humane
for that matter. Second...

the war. Athletes become violent in order to
