(Run TIme Approx. 100 min.)

Professor Zimbardo's talk takes its audience on a journey through the psychological processes of character transformation that are engaged when ordinary, good people turn into perpetrators of evil.

The abuses and tortures of Abu Ghraib prison serve as the case study for understanding such horrors not as the work of a few bad apples, but rather as the consequence of a set of identifiable Situational variables and Systemic forces of the "bad barrel" and the "bad barrel makers".

the Lucifer devil/angel concept is an analogy, not a literal example. This isn't about the bible.

whoever believes that the monsters who tortured innocent people at Abu Ghraib were "just a few bad apples" or "a few rogue solidiers" acting on their own is a complete ignorant moron. they were ordered to do everything they did straight from the top and they followed their orders to the T. you have to be a moron to believe they were acting on their own

Smart guy, interesting presentation. I attended one of his lectures in person once- good stuff.

Going to be honest, here. I saw Bats, as i thought they were, in that drawing. I didn't even notice the Angels until the lecturer pointed them out. '>_>

[Imawakeitsmorning]

I had never heard him talk until now. Anyone else expected this voice to a lot deeper?

@suutari13 You're an idiot, even though part of what you say is probably right.

@koneko2141 , like everything else, there are no absolutes, no 'either black or white'. Only shades of grey.
