Explain Foucault’s concept of panopticon.

Foucault's concept of the panopticon is derived from Jeremy Bentham's architectural design for a prison, which Foucault uses as a metaphor for modern disciplinary societies. In his work *Discipline and Punish* (1975), Foucault explores how power operates in society through surveillance, discipline, and the regulation of bodies. The panopticon, as theorized by Bentham, is a circular prison structure with a central watchtower. The prisoners' cells are arranged around the tower, with each cell being visible to the watchman in the tower. However, the prisoners cannot see the watchman, which means they can never know for sure whether they are being watched at any given moment. This uncertainty leads to a self-regulating behavior among the inmates, as they assume they are always under surveillance.

Foucault expands on Bentham’s panopticon to illustrate how modern societies exercise control over individuals. For Foucault, ___ _________ ______ ____ ______ _________ __________ ________.
