Imagine you were walking through campus just like any other day, pacing quickly so you must not be late to your next class. Out of nowhere, right before you are about to step into the building of your desired destination, you hear a gunshot. You witness a man bust out of the double doors of the building next to the building you are standing at. He is holding a handgun and he begins to unload the bullets onto every student he lays eyes on. Everyone begins to run in the opposite direction of the…

Aim: The BBC prison experiment was a study that tested the psychological effect of people being placed in an environment where there was inequality in terms of power, status and resources. As stated by Haslam and Reicher, they “were trying to investigate the factors (e.g., social identification, permeability, cognitive alternatives) that determine when people act as group members and how they respond to an unequal social system.” (Haslam and Reicher, 2008). Method: Fifteen men were chosen to…

I turn on the TV after I finish getting ready for school. I don’t have to leave for another 20 minutes, so I figure watching or listening to the news is a way to fill in that time. My eyes watch my fingertips dance across my phone and I hit send to my friend, Abigail, telling her I'm leaving shortly. I switch to Instagram liking every post I see as my eyes glance up to the tv for a brief moment and see that a well known kid from my school, Luke Hemmings, has been considered a “missing person”…

Don Delillo, the author of White Noise, wrote an incredible story about the invention of plots, and explains how naming things correlates with the idea of certainty and uncertainty. He does this through the main character of the novel, Jack Gladney, along with other characters that are in Jack’s life, such as his friend and co- worker, Murray Jay Siskind, a neuroscientist and another co-worker, Winnie Richards, and the creator of Dylar, Willie Minks. White Noise teaches us that naming things are…

“All buggers report to duty immediately! Our defense systems have been breached! All buggers report to duty immediately! Our defense systems have been breached!” blared the loudspeakers repeatedly in my quarters, each message sending an echo down the narrow hallway leading to the other buggers’ quarters. What a perfect way to start the day. I am awoken at five-thirty in the morning by the sound of extremely high-pitched loudspeakers- just what I need! Ugh! I better go and find that awful Queen…

as I entered the room. The women were arranged in twenty rows of five. There was a thin glass wall centered in the middle of the room. If you stared long at the glass wall, you would notice the men arranged in a row also. The Sheik spoke over the intercom and called for prayer. We all bowed down to respect our creator. Men and women kneeled and prostrated at the same time. The words Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim, meaning in the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful, floated around the room as a…

"Mason are you here for therapy?" requested Dr. Stiner, as he casually moved towards Mason, who was in the shadow of building half way into the night. The moon was high in the sky, creating small shadows in which Mason hid. Mason only nodded in response. "Follow me towards the movie theater," uttered Dr. Stiner. He proceeded to jaunt towards the theater with Mason close behind. The way Mason paced himself only made it seem like he was having a struggle keeping up with the doctor. The walk lasted…

both. Destin and his family drove to their designated facilities. Everyone was frantic and severely cautious. The men who escorted them into the room remained tenacious and discreet. An announcement projected from the speakers above them. The intercom voice directed everyone to the main room. Thousands of bleachers filled up around them. The staggering seats swallowed the room. Everyone was motionless. You would have thought the air was stagnant. A man and a woman walked side by side towards…

The Stanford Prison Experiment was an experiment based on the roles of people, and how easily people will fall into those roles. The prisoners were stuck in the basement all day for 6 days, and both the guards and prisoners lost their morals and individuality. The act of dehumanization also provided the prisoners with fear, anger, and helplessness. The Stanford Prison Experiment was not a physical genocide, but a psychological genocide. Genocide is the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part,…
