His typology\u2014<strong>traditional<\/strong>, <strong>charismatic<\/strong>, and <strong>legal-rational<\/strong> authority\u2014helps decode everyday structures. In Indian families, elders often wield traditional authority over life choices, while bureaucracies follow legal-rational structures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Michel Foucault<\/strong> shifted the focus from centralized power to <strong>disciplinary power<\/strong>\u2014subtle control through surveillance, norms, and self-regulation.
