Sociology 120: Stanford Prison Experiment

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? Please use proper citation for this essay, including a title and works cited page. Marking: Mechanics - 5 Title/Works - 5 Examples - 10 Opinion – 10 Value: 30
