1) Both Bentham and Foucault make the point that the panopticon is a way to control people through the possibility of being watched. Bentham explains it as "The persons to be inspected should always feel themselves as if under inspection" (33), showing that people do not necessarily have to be watched for the system to work because the feeling or idea is enough. Foucault builds off of this idea and makes the point that eventually, people will internalize the surveillance. He shows this on page 28 where he says, "an inspecting gaze, a gaze which each individual under its weight will end by interiorizing to the point that he is his own overseer". They both make the same point that the omnipresent guard will end up impacting people's behaviors, even if the guard is no longer physically present and you end up monitoring yourself.
2) Something I find really interesting is the idea of being your own guard or monitoring yourself. I think this happens naturally because people often behave in a way that they think is suitable for being in public, but I think social media has completely amplified this. With social media we live in an age where anything can be filmed and uploaded online and now open to criticism from millions of strangers who lack context. I think there is an important distinction here though, I am not talking about people who say or do discriminatory things and get rightfully called out for such acts, I am meaning people who get filmed for wearing a "funny" outfit, or slipping, or someone who is just in the background of a video, people who are just going about their day. I think that in recent years the self monitoring has increases because people have to be thinking more about how they come across in any given situation.
