SOCI MID-TERM

write an analytical paper addressing the following question: “How does each theory explain the production and maintenance of social order, and what role does power play in sustaining or transforming that order?”

I will provide the lecture notes and the textbook notes. Do not reference the the lecture notes, however, you do need to reference the textbook.

No sources primarily needed, except the textbook. which is Kivisto, P. J. (2020). Social theory: Roots & branches (6th ed.). Oxford University Press.

APA formatting, times new roman, size 12 front & double-spaced. needs to be 1200 words not including the title page and the reference page.

I want you to do it on Foucault How power disciplines bodies and behavior

Marcuse How domination works through needs, ideology, and satisfaction.

This is a rough thesis for the paper “Modern social order is sustained less through direct coercion than through forms of power that individuals internalize and accept as normal. While Foucault explains how disciplinary power produces self-regulating subjects through surveillance and routine, Marcuse shows how domination is stabilized at the societal level through the production of false needs and one-dimensional thinking. Together, these theories reveal that contemporary power is effective not because people are forced to comply, but because domination is experienced as rational, comfortable, and even desirable.” Give me a better thesis and work around this thesis.
