The Stanford Prison experiment was not a physical genocide, but a psychological genocide. 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. Philip Zimbardo was a psychology professor at the University of Stanford. He wanted to operate an experiment that would show how people act in adverse conditions, and the psychological…

I currently work as an Interventionist. I provide small group interventions to at risk elementary students. The teacher leadership program has added purpose to my profession as an educator. I’ve learned to use data and records on students as powerful resources to plan effective lessons. Data lets me learn strengthens and weaknesses of the students. Viewing past and present records of students helps me to understand the whole child. When I review data and records of students, it enables me…

they will give. Darley & Latané did a series of research studies on bystander intervention, diffusion of responsibility, and what leads people to help. In one of their studies they separated college students into cubicles to discuss a topic over an intercom allowing only one person to talk at a time. One person mentioned having seizures occasionally when under stress. When his turn came around again he became loud, jumbled words, and started choking and gasping. In one condition there were only…

It was a week before Valentine’s Day and the girls and I were sitting at the middle table and the guys where at the table behind us. My friend Katlyn was sitting at the end of the table and I was sitting right next to her and across from me was my friends Joanna. We were all talking about the spring fling that was coming up when CC went right to Katlyn and gave her a hug and started talking crap about Joanna. At first Joanna looked at me and shock her head telling me to leave it alone. Katlyn…

The last day of the contest, Krista arrived with Daniel and Lorraine a few minutes after seven. It was just starting to drizzle. I didn’t have a raincoat, so I searched several closets in the house before finding an old trench model that belonged to my dad. It had enough buttons, buckles and decorative flaps for ten coats. Climbing into it, it smelled of mothballs and hung on my shoulders, airless and heavy, like an old canvas tent. How he ever wore this thing, I’ll never know. Now it was my…

it into your satchel again. Your footsteps begin to increase in pace while you use your free hand to fidget with the glasses resting on the bridge of your nose. After reaching the main entrance, you extract your sunglasses heretofore pressing the intercom button. "Hello.…

By using those words, the reader senses the depth of the hatred Judee has for the corrupt authority in the prison. Her story begins by an announcement coming over the intercom demanding for her to obtain a pass and go to the captain’s office immediately. She shows no reaction; in fact her fellow inmates have to ask her if she heard the announcement. Her response to them was, “Who the fuck knows” (3491). The emotions she…

Cleora Perrik was not a violent person. Strange, and quiet, yes, but not violent. The day the whole student body was summoned to the main building for a meeting, she felt a nauseating pit in her stomach that maintained during the walk to the building. She silently shifted through the crowds of fellow students, slinking through like a shadow, and eventually she was at the front of the crowd and stepping through the doors. What was strange, however, was that the doors were kept opened by…

The development of the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Image) machine has changed the medical world for the better. One of the first points about the MRI is that it was created by Professor Raymond Damadian in 1977. The first time the MRI machine was used, it took a total of five hours to do the whole scan. Also, the first MRI machine ever used is now in the Smithsonian Institute, and was nicknamed the “Indomitable.” Many people think they know what an MRI machine does, but most of the time they are…
