Based on the understanding of the experiment, ethics in research, Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS) and American Society of Criminology (ASC) Code of Ethics, it is in my opinion that the experiments were unethical. The experiment was about teachers administering electronic shocks to learners, pretenders, for each incorrect answer given. The teachers were the actual subject of the experiment but were not aware. Milgram may have succeeded in proving the concept of obedient to authority…

(based on his UK experience)Personal Presentation and Style In our meeting, I found Mr Sheridan to have a mature, professional, positive and someone ‘upbeat’ personal style. He is friendly and engaging. At the same time, he appears to be an intelligent person who is constantly assessing the dynamics of the communication, as well as the content of the material. I would expect Mr Sheridan to be a perceptive and intelligent negotiator in a commercial situation. And to be a cooperative and…

it that so unnerved me about the contemplation of the house.” In contrast, the movie version of the story displays a man, a man who is now not unknown within the storyline. He is the main character of the movie, and he goes by the name of Philip Winthrop. As Philip approaches the house he gives a quick glance at the house as if, he also had felt unnerved by the contemplation of the house but then proceeds toward the house without describing any certain unnerved feelings he was having about…

The conflict was reduced in the Robbers Cave experiment by both teams, The Rattlers and The Eagles, coming together to solve a common problem. The problem in this case was a lack of water supply. The working together of the two groups neutralized the hostility by fostering understanding of the other. The logic behind this intervention was that working together builds trust and leads to dissolving some of the dissonance between one group and the other. The Stanford prison experiment helped…

The Stanford Prison Experiment was a proposed two-week experiment that turned into a six day nightmare. “The original intent was to study whether the behavior of prisoners and guards was dispositional or situational” (McLeod, 2008). However, what they got out of the experiment was a “situation in which prisoners were withdrawing and behaving in pathological ways” and where some of the guards “were behaving sadistically” (Zimbardo). The Stanford Prison Experiment is one of the most controversial…

Deconstruction of Koyaanisqatsi (Godfrey Reggio, 1983) by Natalie Bakeer Koyaansiqatsi is paced and sequenced in an interesting manner. The way the shots are sequenced, affect how people think and feel about the film. The pace of the shots, along with the powerful score, by Phillip Glass, determine the feelings viewers get as they watch it. Sometimes Reggio decided what to shoot only after Glass came up with the music that would end up energizing Reggio’s films. Reggio chose to shoot unscripted…

Before his time as a professor at a university, Jeffrey Williams worked as guard at the New York State correctional prison. He spent most of his time working at Downstate Correction Facility in Fishkill, New York. The prison had a “campus” style in which cluster of cells were arranged in horseshoe shape, rather than long rows. This style seemingly permitted for a more pleasing environment with less chaos. Williams writes that most of the prisoners in Downstate Correction Facility are serving for…

Conducted in August 1971 by Professor Philip Zimbardo, the Stanford Prison Experiment was an experimental study using students to evaluate how an individual’s behavior can be shaped when put in certain situations involving power. The students chosen to participate were assigned randomly as either a prison guard or a prisoner and were placed in the basement of the Psychology Department at Stanford University to conduct the experiment. Despite being planned to run for two weeks, the experiment…

I strongly believe that there were only a few bad apples with dark side hidden down deep as far as the Abu Ghraib prison torture, sexual harassment and killings perpetrated by soldiers in the prison and all what it takes for these bad apples is for the right opportunity to come to show out all their dark sides. Its only small portion of the American army soldiers that was operating and controlling Abu Ghraib prison. Accountability for the abuse of the inmates at Abu Ghraib prison have been…
