Standford´s experiment

What do I think about that??

To beginning I have to say that I’ve never eared anything about this experiment, so the video that we watch in class, it was really strange to me. It was very interesting, and I learned how the human can her personality when you “give his” a specific role.

They was people of the same ages (more or less), they had the same social clash, etc, so… there wasn´t lot of differences between them.

It´s curious how one sunglasses, one specific uniform, in conclusion, ones roles symbols can to change the personality of one person. I´m talking about the polices and the prisoners.

It´s true, that they received some money to do this experiment, but, in my opinion, it´s one experiment very hard to life it, both polices and prisoners.

I have to say that I´ve never been in one experiment like that (uuuffff….) but I´ve to say that the tesis which the doctors wanted to prove… is a reality in our society.

One time, in one summer camp, the monitors said: “In this day, you´ll be monitor, and us, the monitors, will be camp´s kids”. I thought “GREAT! PERFECT!”. But it was not great and perfect. My personality with the other camp´s kids it wasn´t the same, my humor, neither. “I have the power” I thought, “everybody will do what I want”.

It was not very easy to me to admit that my behavior it was not the same, but some days after this day, I recognize that I was not be the same person. When I had the power, I was not “Ernesto”… I was “MR ERNESTO”.

To the people who read that blog and they don´t know anything of Stanford’s experiment, here you can watch it and then you can write me your opinion if you want.
