I found this video very interesting. After learning about Zimbardo's Standford Prison Experiment, I decided to do some research on him and I came across this video. He makes a lot of references to Abu Ghraib, Stanley Milgram's Electric Shock Experiment and even talks about the good side of people.
We'd be surprised if we knew what we were capable of. We'd all like to think that we're good people and will always be the best people we can be but one day we'll surprise ourselves when we're put into a situation where you can't help but be someone you don't want to be. I also wanted to comment on Abu Ghraib. This is another reason why I don't support our military. In this country, it's okay to say that all Muslim people are bad because a few Muslims made really bad decisions, so I think it's completely fair to say an entire military is bad even though only a few of the army members participated in the sick acts of Abu Ghraib.
Anyway, watch this video. It really is fascinating.
