RE: The Lucifer Effect: Are We Evil?
To me, the scary part about both of the experiments is how quickly people fell into the roles. a while back, I watched a documentary on the Stanford experiment with interviews of participants many years later - it still is with them.
What does this tell us about human nature and how can we safeguard ourselves to blindly fall into roles like that.....
You got my vote :)
Thanks for your comment @mariannewest! Yes you put It down simple and to the point. This experiments tell us a lot more than many philosophical-abstract speculations. Falling into roles happens every day, even on a smaller daily scale, in the family ad much as at work for instance.
so true!! kind of scary to think how little we are in control :(
