Surveillance has become normalized in our culture from "summary" of We See It All by Jon Fasman
The ubiquity of surveillance in our society has led to a sense of resignation among many people. We have grown accustomed to cameras watching our every move, whether in stores, on the street, or even in our own homes. This normalization of surveillance has dulled our sense of outrage at the erosion of privacy and personal freedom.
The constant monitoring of our activities has become so ingrained in our daily lives that we hardly give it a second thought. We willingly sacrifice our privacy for the sake of convenience, security, or simply because we feel powerless to resist. The idea of being watched no longer elicits the same level of discomfort or fear that it once did.
In a world where everything we do is subject to scrutiny, we have become desensitized to the invasion of our privacy. We accept surveillance as a necessary trade-off for the benefits it provides, whether real or imagined. The illusion of security that cameras and tracking devices offer has made us willing participants in our own surveillance.
The normalization of surveillance in our culture is not simply a passive acceptance of its presence; it is an active endorsement of its methods and goals. We willingly share personal information on social media, allow companies to track our online activities, and even welcome the use of facial recognition technology in public spaces. We have become complicit in our own surveillance, perpetuating a cycle of monitoring and control.
As surveillance becomes more pervasive and intrusive, our ability to resist its encroachment on our lives diminishes. We are caught in a web of surveillance that we helped to create, unable or unwilling to break free. Our culture has embraced the idea that constant monitoring is the price we must pay for living in a connected, technologically advanced society.
