The question of authority is one of the most important controversial topics in Western civilization, as it began with the authority of the ruler to Plato to pass to the authority of the savage in Hobbes, passing through the authority of the prince at Machiavelli, and it will later take on a concept during the twentieth century with philosophers of difference, especially with Michel Foucault (1926) -1984) who worked on researching the mechanisms of power and the mechanisms of coercion that were practiced in various social whether on the insane, the sick, the prisoners, the homosexual, and others, and he also worked to clarify their hidden actions, especially at the political and social level.

The question that puzzled Foucault's thought is a question of how to achieve this power? What are the mechanisms of power that it used on the various social? The most important finding of Foucault is that power is present everywhere that expresses conflict relations between the forces in society, and as it made the body the focus of control and punishment.
