Panopticon as a social disciplinary mechanism, it regulates the social roles in modern society. According to Michel Foucault, panopticon allows an ostensible liberty of choice for individuals in modern society.

For instance, parents conform the juridical obligation to raise and protect their children while children are expected to subordinate the rules.
