Michel Foucaults Idea

Michel Foucault

For Facault people do not have a "real" identitiy within themselves, thats just a way of talking about self a discourse.

An idenity is communicated to others in your interactions with them, but this is not a fixed thing, within a person it is a shifting temporary construction.

Power is something which can be used and deployed by particular people in specific situations which itself will produce other reactions and resistances and isn't to specific groups or idenities.

Power outcomes are not inevitable and can be resisted.

The discourse in our instance is the justicie and equality enforced by press and news broadcasts.
The power in our instance is the mass media.
mass media have called youths "demontised"

How does this link in to today in society?

A discourse today is facebook, we shape our identies we choose what status and images we share with our friends on facebook, this shapes our indenitys but these will chamge over time as people change their identies over time this links in to being a shifting temporary construction.
