RE: Exploring the Dark Side of Humanity: the Stanford Prison Experiment

in #stemng7 years ago (edited)

Hey @churchboy many thanks for this well written post. This is the first time am hearing about the Standford Prison Experiment.

And it makes me realise that nobody is born bad or good, and we are only victims of our environment and circumstances. Using Bradley Bellick from prison break as an example. When he was a warder at Fox River, he thrived and abused the inmates, not because he was a bad person, but because it was his job to enforce law and order.

And when he became a prisoner at Panama, he became what he once ridiculed and preyed on - an inmate. Simply because of that was his circumstance at the time.

This has to be the post of the week. You deserve some accolades!

Some accolades would be nice Bro. I paid my dues, I paid in full :)

Yes, I find it very interesting how people usually operate in extremes. Bellick was no model inmate when he went to prison just as he was not a model warden.

Thanks for the compliment.
