Stanford
Prison Experiment Essay
After watching the Stanford Prison Experiment you can
see how easy it is for good people to do bad things or assume a new
status given to them. In this case the role of “Prison Guard” started to
be acted out in bad ways. The status of being “Prisoner” was also acted
out as people who did not need to take punishment simply submitted to their new
status and took the punishment.
Please carefully compare the Stanford Prison Experiment with
two other events in history where good people did bad things because of their
newly given or adopted status. What are your thoughts on this? Does it matter
the situation someone is in? The location?
