I agree, in the schools the presence of the cameras make the students feel like guilty culprits, as if they are suspect of doing something wrong. At Abu Ghraib, on the other hand, the surveillance they were under due to the cameras did not sink in - they were not aware enough of it, and how it could potentially incriminate them as part of the actions they recorded. The relationship is not direct, but both of these are issues of surveillance. A stronger parallel could be drawn between the school students and Josh Harris' project "We Live in Public", where he underwent a similar sort of constant surveillance. But I absolutely agree that surveillance can and will change people's actions.Kate DWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478996975214087423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452778081872252646.post-72793337958305405842010-09-24T18:16:04.475-07:002010-09-24T18:16:04.475-07:00You comparison to surveillance in schools is a ver...You comparison to surveillance in schools is a very interesting change from a POW prison, mainly to the point that those two things in incomparable. In a school system the outcome is a positive one, less cheating, and in a prison environment it was abuse.Emily Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682660539855559666noreply@blogger.com
