Foucault highlighted five expressions of power which were used to control people: 1) sovereign power associated with those in control; 2) disciplinary power associated with institutions like schools and factories; 3) pastoral power which is associated with Christian pastorate but secularized by the state; 4) biopower which refers to govern life forces; and 5) technologies of the self which is where people act upon themselves (Nadesan, 2008, p.8).
