A psychology professor at Stanford University by the name of Philip G. Zimbardo created a controlled experiment of a clear strife between good versus evil, it brought people from a good upbringing into a situation of power play. The Stanford Prison Experiment is a notorious example of how roles and expectations shape people and can alter original morals, actions, and thoughts. In August of 1971 a job advertisement was put into the local newspaper for a psychological experiment on how prison life effects the mind that would pay fifteen dollars a day. Around seventy applicants who responded were psychologically interviewed by Craig Haney and Curt Banks. Twenty-four of these volunteers were deemed mentally and physically healthy for the experiment.
