Foucault’s Knowledge and Power, The Power Walk

Type of power in my community

1) Power over others:

The RAB (Rapid Action Battalion) has power over all our community civilians. I see them as a great man to watch everyday our area and impose a heavy power for the civilians.

2) The power to realize desires or needs:

Today morning I felt bored because one of my friends went to London previous day and that’s why I felt lonely. I need his company.

3) Cooperative power:

Cooperative power exists in my family. In my family, my brother and his wife both are happy with their works and always connecting by the help of Allah. I think it will be better for their future as well as for my family because they live with my family.

4) Power of being:

I think power of being depends totally ones individual quality and how he/she manage or control the situation. For that, I realize one man for the example, who is my English Spoken teacher called S.K.Shafin Ahmed. He is gentle, polite and better stable for his family as well as for the students.

5) Impersonal power relations:

For that reason, the government takes impersonal power to the people. For example, the Telephone Bill has to be paid on time otherwise, the authority impose fine. So the governments impose at least exercising indirect power on us.
