Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Study

As we have seen in class, the Zimbardo Stanford Prison Study and the Milgrim Shock Obedience study were very contraversial but are also very important for us to understand that we cannot follow blindly with requests by authority. Thirty years later, this experiment is still relevant with the goings on at the Abu Grab Prison in Iraq. Check out these two website http://www.prisonexp.org/ and also Zimbardo's new work the Luciffer Effect at http://www.http//www.lucifereffect.com/.

Also sign up for Dr. Zimbardo's campaign to encourage heroism. This is so important in this day and age.
