 The Lords Of Discipline
The Lords Of Discipline...that is how I see for some part the many great photographers or artists (such a crappy word) in any field that I believe (with others) have made such an important body of work that can't be overlooked.
Anyway, I think that discipline (as in a zen state of discipline) is the first elemental keyfactor in expressing oneself : you first have to 'limit yourself in order to go all the way'...in order to follow your 'moira'...the path of the hero...the higher goal...
Other then the commercial aspect, it's incumbent upon the artist to be disciplined enough to be able to sucessfully render their photographic ideas to papter or to resist outside influences which will cause them to change the direction of their think to mirror others.

 Entrepreneur: Lords Of Discipline - correcting behavior of difficult employees
But, the experts insist, discipline is a skill that any smart manager can master, and, nowadays, smart managers know they must master it.
It seems obvious, but it's worth repeating: "An employee should be disciplined because of what he did, not who he is and never because of race, color, gender or anything else," says Hilgert.
By all means, ask the employee for suggestions about how he or she expects to do better, but go into any discipline session keeping in mind your own ideas for improvement.

Administrators and teachers say they have fewer options at their disposal in disciplining students for everything from sassing teachers to bringing weapons or drugs to school.
Mary Mannella, 41, of Penn Hills, agreed that the 500 students suspended by the district in 2001-02 seems high, "but if that's what they have to do..." Her son is a sixth-grader at Linton Middle School, which had more than 300 of the suspensions that year.
Dwindling options along with a lack of respect for authority and apathy among parents has spawned a generation of troublesome students, leaving administrators scrambling for ways to discipline them, said Louis Chandler, chairman of the department of educational psychology at the University of Pittsburgh.

 village voice > film > Das Experiment; Siddhartha by Ed Halter
Das Experiment is only the most recent example of an actual study of authoritarianism explored cinematically: Others include Stanley Milgram's controversial 1962 "shock machine" doc, Obedience, and 1981 TV movie The Wave, in which California teens form a high school mini-Reich.
The question of how Nazism gained power is the obvious common thread through these films, and each is concerned with systemic discipline and punishment.
Adding a contemporary media-crit spin, Das Experiment explores the inherent cruelty of Big Brother, Survivor, and other social-endurance peep shows: The prison is tricked out with surveillance cameras, Tarek captures clandestine footage with his glasses-cam, and the scientists tape Real World-style one-on-one confessionals.
