In a documentary called China: The Surveillance state or way of the future. The government has an eye on everything. On big screens, they can control approximately one million cameras and switch to any of the cameras. The cameras are able to recognize every citizen by their face, speech, and even the way they walk, even those who are breaking the law or have bad behavior.
I will be talking about the few issues the documentary addresses. Thank you for watching my personal thoughts and key takeaways from the documentary.
Foucault's Normalized Power in China
With regard to Michel Foucault's thesis of force in everything, this newly discovered material regarding the surveillance state in major Chinese cities provides a prime illustration of a repressive power at work in real-world circumstances Freedom of speech, access to information, and protection of personal information are just a few of the liberties that Chinese citizens have learned to live without. Even if they are unaware of it, they have granted the government authority in everyday settings, as Foucault has maintained.
Hi Sana,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog and video on your takeaway from the documentary.
It seems that the future is headed that direction, and I think we could find a mutual ground between citizens and authorities.
Thanks
