This thesis explores how power relations are reflected on society in the act of surveillance basedon Michel Foucault’s discourse in the light that events that happen in the arrangement of certaintime and place reveal the context in situation in history and things happen as a consequence ofsuch situational events even at the time when technology advances at a remarkable pace andstate-of-the-art technologies do not rest to surprise us.In that regard, I start by presenting motivation and historical background of surveillance. Then Idescribe current surveillance technology and state in three aspect; biometrics which is adominating off-line surveillance methodology, internet which is a dominating on-line surveillanceframeset, and the centralization of big data for the utilization of these all. Then I analyze socialcondition for surveillance by investigating current and recent history, the impact ofscience/technology on society, and how the mindset and culture of contemporary times hasformed itself. In the conclusion and discussion, I analyze what will happen if such trend ofmachine culture continues and present suggestion about what can be done.

Program excellence in Extension is contingent on an Extension educator’s ability to identify issues, prioritize these issues, implement educational programs to address these issues and resulting in measurable outcomes, evaluate these issues and utilize the results of these evaluations to redirect educational programs, and utilize these evaluation results as the foundation for program interpretation. The future success of Extension programs is dependent on the capacity of Extension to retain highly qualified Extension educators and the ability of these Extension educators to implement the process of Extension program development. A comprehensive professional development intervention, entitled the “South Region Excellence in Programming Academy,” was designed and implemented from May 2006 to November 2006 to provide early to mid-career Extension educators with comprehensive instruction related to program planning, program implementation and evaluation and interpretation. A Pre-experimental research, One-Group pre-test-post test, involved the administration of a pre-test (O1) to research subjects followed by the Academy (X) and then followed by a post-test (O2) to determine if Extension educators’ knowledge in program development increased as result of participation in the Academy. Extension educators perceive that their proficiency in the Extension program development process increases as a result of their participation in the Academy. Extension educators incorporate principles covered during the Academy and were satisfied with the Academy in terms of providing skills that will enhance their ability to execute the Texas Cooperative Extension Program Development Model. This study showed that as an Extension educator’s knowledge of the program development process increased, and their perception of the elements of program development increased, Extension educators will incorporate the principles of program development covered during the Academy, and Extension educators were satisfied with the Academy. Recommendations are offered to improve future professional development interventions focusing on program planning, implementation, evaluation, and interpretation. The results of this study will contribute to the body of knowledge that will enhance the ability of personnel to provide quality professional development related to program development.
