b. supervising
c. controlling
d. surveiling

Answer 1

Answer:

If Michel Foucault were to observe this workplace interaction, he would say that the person with the clipboard surveiling the assembly line worker.

Explanation:

Michel Foucault's theory attempts to understand the power as a result of the knowledge, and how this knowledge is used for social control through institutions. In this example, the person with the clipboard is surveilling, noting on the clipboard everything he considers good or bad, and then he sends this information to his superior who will apply the power. One way or another is a controlling system.
