What makes good people do bad things? Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison experiment was to study the behavior of normal people under a particular situation. The students who took part in the experiment would play the role of either guard or a prisoner in a mock prison. Most of the students that played as the guards of the mock prison became very cruel as they abused their power and authority over the prisoners. The students that played as the prisoners were frightened and became submissive to the prison

is generally accepted‚ this however leads to debate about how much freedom people should be allowed to make decisions about their future children. The issues arise as it is difficult to take an objective view on the topic‚ with many factors affecting peoples’ views. As there is in fact already a process of natural selection‚ perhaps it would be best to allow this to progress at its natural rate. On the other hand‚ if it is possible to allow people to decide elements of their child’s future‚ then who

Professor Keith Morton September 15‚ 2013 The Cost of the Decisions We Make For every course of action that one takes in life‚ there is a cost associated. This cost may be large or small but one can weigh this cost with the alternative before he or she makes any decision. In the essay‚ “The Price of Crossing Borders” written by Eduardo Porter‚ the concept of understanding that there is a price for everything is conveyed. There is no decision that is made or path that is taken that comes without some

To my ear this statement sounds false and a little too fare-fetched. It is truth universally acknowledged that the old people have volumes of experience‚ while the young have the energy and lots of creative power. Therefore I think that it’s not suitable to take sides in this situation. Because in my view there is no way to determine who is better - the old or the young. Obviously‚ each of these groups has its own positives and negatives. I suppose they should co-operate and be helpful to one

The film “How to Make Better Decisions” was quite interesting. The beginning of the film highlighted how based on science‚ it shows that the decisions we make are bad. We assume that we have a strong awareness of our choices and the reason why we do certain things. I agree with that because every time I make a decision‚ I always think that I know what the outcome would be‚ but really I am only making a decision based on my emotions and I am only assuming to think the outcome will be great.

My inspiration for Make the Right Decisions Early arose from observing the thousands of students who graduate from college each year. Many of them leave college with as little idea what to do with their professional lives than when they first set foot on campus four years earlier. The university system continues to present itself as a means for someone to enter the working world and succeed. Yet it fails to specifically define the role that it actually plays. While college presents itself as a guide

Who Made Halloween a Holiday? To understand who made Halloween a holiday‚ you first need to understand how Halloween came to be. Halloween is derived from the Celtic celebration of Samhain‚ which was celebrated 2‚000 years ago. Roman Catholics took over the celebration when they entered the Celtic regions of the world. The holiday evolved into a more religious observance under the Catholics. It wasn’t until Irish settlers coming to America‚ decided to revive the traditions of the original basis
