Stanford Prison Experiment

My thoughts on the Stanford Prison Experiment are actually a bit impartial. On one side I can see what they were trying to accomplish, and it wasn't physically hurting anybody. However, I do not believe in "psyching" people out because it mentally could hurt them. In this experiment, it has the person doing the simulated electro-shocking thinking they are harming one person. The reason I am impartial to this is because the person doing the shocking could just say they do not want to continue the experiment.

When I consider what year this was, I can't help but think that people in certain countries may be scared to go against orders. For example, those ordinary Germans during WWII may have felt and known that the mass exterminations were wrong, but may also have feared that saying or doing anything against orders could harm them or their families and so they stayed put out of fear.

I do not exactly know the full story of the Standford Prison Experiment, but based on what I have read in our book, these were my initial thoughts.

Sade's Introduction

Hello everyone,


Welcome to my blog! My name is Sade Sydney, and I am 24 years old living in Centreville, VA. I have a full time job at Lexus, and a part time job/internship with an event decorating company. I am also going to school part time pursuing my business management  degree in hopes to own my own event planning firm. I have wanted to plan events since I can remember, because I am an over-planner at everything that I do.

I am usually a busy person, but on my down time I mostly like to exercise, hang out at my house with my boyfriend and watch movies, football, etc, and also visit my family in Charlottesville.


After I graduate with my Business Management degree, I am not sure if I will go to another school, but if I do it will most likely be George Mason.

I am excited to take this course, and hope it will help me learn more in order to pursue my dream goal.
