Just my thoughts #0547

In the animation “Finding Nemo,” the main character, Nemo, asks questions about the sea and where he lives. “What is the sea?” Hearing this, the dolphin puts Nemo on its back and jumps over the water to reveal her world. When you are in the sea, you do not know what the sea is. However, when you rise above the surface, you can see that the sea is a place where water gathers at a low level, and above it are air and land. She eventually realizes that she is also on the ground with water. If you want to understand the essence and grasp the reality, you must step out of the place you belong to for a while. Further development and reform can be expected. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A panopticon is a prison design inspired by British utilitarian Jeremy Bentham’s ideas. The most effective way to monitor prisoners is to create spaces where a few prison officers can observe many prisoners without being seen themselves. Control is not exercised by the prison officers but rather by the design of the space. A watchtower with tiny windows is situated in the center of the circular structure, allowing the interior of the prison to appear bright while enabling the prison officers in the watchtower to keep an eye on the prisoners. Power stems from the ability to observe others without revealing one’s existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
