    About this ebook

    Population - Dandelion is an essay about movements that are against the social structures whether it be government, organizations, schools or religion. These social structures also referred to as machines are designed to control people through the concept of panopticism (described by Michael Foucault). The essay focuses on a culture with a message (Hippies, flower children) and how they set out to change the machine, but this concept can apply to all types of movements no matter the day and age or region.

    In the essay M.T. Dismuke refers to these cultures as dandelions which are movements based on a collective thought and message. In other words a classic tale of man versus machine. These type of movements are typically met with resistance therefore they become suppressed, rejected, and discarded as a weed - the dandelions.

      Population – Dandelion

      Essay by M.T. Dismuke

      Published by DarkGate at Smashwords

      Preface

      -

      M.T. Dismuke wrote this essay back in 2005 for an English class while attending college. The subject matter has deep meaning and it changed the way he viewed the world. The essay is more than just a passage of time where a culture stood up against a seemingly corrupt world. It is a collective voice of many people, in many nations, who all stand together to broadcast a similar message. The machine described by Michael Foucault might be persistent and timeless, but it is the voice and the message of the people that becomes immortal.

      Disclaimer: The essay was not written for any current day events nor was it an attempt to side with any political or anti-political parties or groups. Author M.T. Dismuke
