In the famed Stanford Prison Experiment in 1971, psychologist Philip Zimbardo demonstrated that randomly chosen, everyday people could turn into sadistic monsters under specific conditions. Since then, he has attempted to convince the world that, more often than we think, it is the situation/pressures we're exposed to that dictate our behaviors, whether good or bad. View the video by Philip Zimbardo about the Stanford Prison Experiment.

Dr Zimbardo's worst fears came true with the recent abuses at Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq, and in his book The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil, he tries to help us comprehend what went wrong, as well as teaching us how to prevent such evil from happening again.
