Solution

The feature of rationalization identified by Ritzer in his updating of Weber’s ideas that is represented by the Panopticon concept is Control. In the Panopticon, prisoners self-monitor, which reduces the need for external control such as prison guards. This aligns with Ritzer's idea of Control, where non-human technologies exert control over human action.
