How mothers can be our daily surveillance

How mothers can be our daily surveillance

As per research, a person’s behaviour changes when they are being watched because that is when our brain keep on giving us notifications that ‘you are being watched’. Even if you are not doing anything wrong, you think and you feel like you are being watched so you instantly start acting different, each move of yours will be a planned one. Just like that, our mothers is watching us daily, watching our every move. They are keeping surveillance like a CCTV camera. Teenagers face this a lot more than adults but given that we are Bengali, our mothers keep eyes on us all the time, teenager or adult. Ever wondered how we kept a certain thing in a particular place and the next day we cannot seem to find it out but our mothers knew exactly where we kept that thing, but we know that they was not watching us when we kept it then how they found it out? Well, this can be explained by two things, one is they know us, they know where we usually keep our stuff, second is they were watching us even when we thought that our mothers cannot see or keep an eye on us all the time but mothers got hawk’s eyes they can see and watch us doing everything. 

The Panopticon theory applies to us in our daily life wherever we go, we are being watched but we do not know who exactly is watching us. It might be the CCTV cameras that are installed on the roads or on our apartment buildings. We do not do the stuff that are wrong, we do not behave irrationally because we are aware of the cameras around us, it is recording, the prove if some incident. Our mothers exactly like that recording us, watching us and later presenting those recordings on an argument as prove. 

So yes, a person’s behaviour does change when he or she is being watched, whether it is done by a security officer in a prison or by our mothers and that is how this society is working and will keep on working because us human being cannot stay within limit if freedom is given to us, it is just not in our nature.
