In Higher Education , a discipline may refer to a specific area or body of knowledge that is researched or taught by a University Faculty (such as politics, semiotics, geography, theology, physics), covering various areas of scholarly and experiential pursuit. The term may also denote any training intended to develop Moral Character , or produce a Pattern of Behaviour . "Discipline" in this context, while often thought to be a coercive mechanism, can be a collaborative process of building consensus regarding accepted behavior within institutions and society. Self-discipline is the ability to exercise control over one's behaviour or Emotion s (see Self Control and Willpower ). Self-discipline is to some extent a substitute for Motivation , when one uses reason to determine a best course of action that opposes one's desires. Lord Alfred Tennyson commented on self-discipline in this way: "Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control. These three alone lead to sovereign power", with "self-control" meaning self-discipline. In Unionised Companies , discipline of employees may be a regulated part of a collective bargaining agreement and subject to Grievance procedures. SEE ALSO |
