The disciplinary society we are embedded in permits access to only a selected few. The world created for us, demands an accumuilation of knowledge to achieve this hierarchal deserved access. In his essay entitled, ‘Society of Control’, Gilless Deleuze is interested in the notion on how we can resist this control, inspired by the dominant functions of capitalism. He further explores on how things are connected and related, arguing that there is no centralized power that is decentralized. Essentially the molecular traits embody society, establishing its structure to be rather fluid. The molar disciplinary’s dictate the rules and activities in which society must participate, and the behaviors that which constitute an acceptable status. If an American refuses to go to war, than it is assumed that he must not stand by the patriotism of his country. Fascism is the most ideal control of society.

Nations have a tendency of demonizing their opponents through mediation of images imposed through the media. “… twin Fascism is new or can make something new. It can only reproduce the environment that supports its own health: fear, denial, and an atmosphere in which its victims have lost the will to fight” (Morrison, 760) In her address to Howard University on March 2, 1995, Toni Morrison indicates that racism is fabricated through provoking fear through images of other cultures. Our understanding of a culture or the objectives revolving around war, are solely understood through subjective representations depicted through the mass-media. The images alienating effects on our imagination establishes a world developed through an artificial depiction. Racism is determined through the fascist rules of our planet. The representative images symbolizing ideology of a particular nation haunt the spectator, not permitting them a chance to resist.
