Talk:Social control

message: Tom Rushton, You added the following sentence: "These are usually enforced more regularly than informal social control and those that do not abide by these guidelines are usually punished directly". This does not strike me intuitively as a true statement and I wonder what authority you might find for it. It is a commonplace that formal rules are often ignored while informal rules are defined by their inforcement, i.e. an uninforced formal rule simply doesn't exist.

message: This article is bursting to the seam with POV. It's mostly speculation, opinion, and conspiratorial. Someone neutralize this thing because this article's just got too much color for its own good.--NeantHumain 06:22, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry  Cryofan, this page is definitely biased, and you attacking someone with your opinion of their social or political background is not going to cover that up. I have marked this page (which is certainly not a "fine article" at this point) as it obviously needs serious alteration. -- Grandpafootsoldier 21:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bias? Personal opinion? 

message: This article is pretty much standard introduction to sociology material.  It could use a good edit to refer to some of the other theories of power and control in society (there are many).

message: The article should have a note on Edmund Burke's thoughts on this. -- 201.51.228.217 23:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Media is already plural. "Several intellectual figures such as Noam Chomsky have argued on the existence of systematic bias in modern medias." And shouldn't it be "reasoned about..."? Argued on? --Christofurio 18:03, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Nice article but I am suprised that there is no mention of the first, best and most popular form of social control - religion. Waffle247 10:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You summed that up rather nicely! However, we can't include that information in the article because of what would happen if everyone found out what religion is REALLY about. Seriously though, there should be a giant wikipedia article devoted to this issue. Afterall, people tend to forget that this was one of the major reasons that the USA even exists today instead of being a possession or part of the U.K.  --Wisepiglet 11:51, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Sorry, but said book is probably the most influential work ever to be written on this topic. Mention it. (69.29.26.85 (talk) 21:18, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  No mention of 1984 

message: I've had a look at this from the point of view of the article's sociological content. I've also read the comments above about bias. We need to remember that the subject is "social control." A question to be asked is: "if a society or agency is going to control people how can it do that?"  The article illustrates some of the mechanisms of social control.  Although not complete, it is a pretty fair intro to the field of social control. Edits since the tag was placed have removed the POV statements.  I'm going to take the neutrality tag off the article. I will start adding sources. That should further improve the article and make its neutrality more transparent. Sunray 02:37, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I redirected Control society to here, as I'm not too sure. If it is, then there should be some mention of Deleuze's writings.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 22:52, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this article about the same thing as Deleuze's "control societies"?
