The practice of "fat shaming" in North American society is an example of Foucault's concept of

A) surveillance.
B) alternative femininities.
C) normalization.
D) discourse.

Foucault's concept of normalization refers to the process by which society creates and reinforces norms of behavior and appearance, such as the belief that thinness is ideal and fatness is undesirable. Fat shaming is one way in which this norm is enforced, as people who fail to conform to the ideal body type are criticized and stigmatized. Thus, fat shaming exemplifies the concept of normalization as described by Foucault.
