Our behaviors are being influenced by surveillance from "summary" of We See It All by Jon Fasman
In the digital age, our every move is being watched, tracked, and analyzed. Surveillance has become a ubiquitous presence in our lives, shaping our behavior in ways we may not even realize. Whether we are scrolling through social media, shopping online, or simply walking down the street, our actions are being monitored and recorded. This constant surveillance has a profound impact on our behavior. We are more likely to self-censor, to conform to societal norms, and to avoid controversial topics. We become hyper-aware of how we are being perceived, leading us to modify our actions and words to fit into the accepted narrative. Surveillance also has the power to influence our decision-making processes. When we know that our actions are being watched, we are more likely to behave in a socially acceptable manner. This can lead to a sense of self-censorship, where we hold back our true thoughts and feelings for fear of judgment or reprisal. Furthermore, the knowledge that our behaviors are being monitored can lead to a sense of paranoia and anxiety. We may constantly feel like we are being watched, even when we are alone. This can have a detrimental effect on our mental health, causing stress, depression, and a sense of powerlessness.- Surveillance has the ability to shape our behavior in profound ways. It can influence the choices we make, the interactions we have, and the beliefs we hold. As we navigate this increasingly monitored world, it is important to be aware of the ways in which surveillance is impacting our behavior and to consider how we can reclaim our autonomy in the face of constant observation.
