laces , ▁households , ▁government ▁institutions , ▁entertain ment ▁media ▁and ▁the ▁health care ▁sector ▁all , ▁through ▁discipl inary ▁power , ▁contribute ▁to ▁forming ▁people ▁into ▁being ▁particular ▁types ▁of ▁subjects . ▁ ▁Theory ▁of ▁Fre edom ▁ ▁Tod d ▁May ▁defines ▁Fou ca ult ' s ▁concept ▁of ▁freedom ▁as : ▁that ▁which ▁we ▁can ▁do ▁of ▁ourselves ▁within ▁our ▁specific ▁historical ▁context . ▁A ▁condition ▁for ▁this , ▁according ▁to ▁Fou ca ult , ▁is ▁that ▁we ▁are ▁aware ▁of ▁our ▁situation ▁and ▁how ▁it ▁has ▁been ▁created / aff ected ▁( and ▁is ▁still ▁being ▁affected ) ▁by ▁power . ▁According ▁to ▁May , ▁two ▁of ▁the ▁aspects ▁of ▁how ▁power ▁has ▁sh aped ▁pe op les ′ ▁way ▁of ▁being , ▁thinking ▁and ▁acting ▁is ▁described ▁in ▁the ▁books ▁where ▁Fou ca ult ▁describes ▁discipl inary ▁power ▁and ▁the ▁history ▁of ▁sexual ity . ▁However , ▁May ▁arg ues , ▁there ▁will ▁always ▁be ▁aspects ▁of ▁pe op les ′ ▁formation ▁that ▁will ▁be ▁unknown ▁to ▁them , ▁hence ▁the ▁constant ▁necessity ▁for ▁the ▁type ▁of ▁anal ys es ▁that ▁Fou ca ult ▁did . ▁ ▁Fou ca ult ▁arg ues ▁that ▁the ▁forces ▁that ▁have ▁affected ▁people ▁can ▁be ▁changed ; ▁people ▁always ▁have ▁the ▁capacity ▁to ▁change ▁the ▁factors ▁that ▁limits ▁their ▁freedom . ▁Fre edom ▁is ▁thus ▁not ▁a ▁state ▁of ▁being , ▁but ▁a ▁practice ▁– ▁a ▁way ▁of ▁being ▁in ▁relation ▁to ▁ones elf , ▁to ▁others ▁and ▁to ▁the ▁world . ▁According
