Das Model

I am against human experimentation. Many human experiments are psychological, though some are physical, both usually causing damage to the body and/or state of mind. My first point being the Stanford Prisoner experiment that took place in 1973. Psychiatrist, Philip Zimbardo chose 24 out of 75 undergraduates and randomly assigned them roles as guards and prisoners in a mock prison on campus. They adapted to their roles within a manner of days,1/3 of the 'guards' began to show agressive and…

Cloudy Judgment In 1971, Professor Phillip Zimbardo Ph.D. from Stanford University devised an experiment to test the willingness of people to conform to social roles in a simulated environment (McLeod, S. A. 2016). There were tons of applications the research team had to sort through settling on 24 college students who were broken up into two groups. The prison guard group who had no formal training on how to work as a prison guard or utilize law enforcement tactics, and the prisoner group. The…

If I was a guard, I believe that I would have become a guard who is oppressive, but not to the point of physically injuring the inmate. I believe that I would adopt a behavior of oppressing the inmates because I would be fearful that the inmates would feel power in numbers against me without my constant threats, but I would recognize that my role as a guard is not real, thus I would not physically abuse the inmates. However, I am unsure whether if my idealistic morals will still remain intact…

Imagine you are a student at Stanford University in the 1970s, and you hear that a psychologist is offering $15 per day to take part in his experiment. You figure that you could use the extra cash and figure that it’s a good way to help out. You and 20 other students are accepted to participate, and you are split into two groups, prisoners and guards. The only instructions given were “...do whatever they thought was necessary to maintain law and order in the prison and to command the respect of…

How did Leonardo da Vinci change the world? Without Leonardo da Vinci, we wouldn’t be where we are today. He helped in a multitude of ways. Da Vinci recorded all of his results and research from his experiments. Unfortunately, though, his research was found centuries after his death. He recorded his research and took notes in notebooks called codices. Each codex had his notes compiled on separate subjects. Every one of the subjects he took notes on contributed to society in some way. He…

Leonardo da Vinci Da Vinci was born April 15, 1452, in the hills of Tuscany outside the village of Anchiano. Da Vinci received a small amount of formal education beyond basic reading, writhing. and mathematics instructions when he was young. He learned metalworking, leather arts, carpentry, drawing, painting and sculpting outside his school or even from himself! Parents: Mom; Caterina (Da Vinchi I assume) Dad; Ser Piero Da Vinchi Step Mom; ????????…

Caitlyn Jenner herself was quoted saying that “the hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear.” Many consider it stunning progress that we have successfully integrated transgender women into the pages of our largest magazines and onto our television screens. However, an identity for transgender women was never established outside of the traditional female archetypes that support the perpetuation of Capitalism. Dozens of transgender women, especially transgender women of color…

Karl Marx evaluated the capitalistic system through economic and social discourse. He evaluated the effects of the transition from a socially stratified society in feudalism to the capitalistic result that was the current trend in society. I will discuss how the minimum wage debate is viewed through a Marxist perspective Although the means of production was undergoing enormous leaps forward through the industrial revolution, the movement out of feudalism ceased to improve for those who lacked…

Why is responsibility such a significant theme in An Inspector Calls? In An Inspector Calls, the central theme is responsibility. Priestley uses the Inspector as a representative to voice his opinions on the main theme and the idea of socialism. Throughout the play, he presents each character with a role of responsibility and tries to make them aware, through the Inspector, that they are all guilty of Eva's death. The Inspector wants The Birlings to share their responsibility; Priestley's focus…
