The act of running away from home is an act that every child considers. As an adult, though, the hope and majesty of the idea can start to fade. In Philip Larkin’s “Poetry of Departures”, the narrator speaks of someone who had considered leaving home. Larkin develops two ways of living in his poem, one where the character spontaneously abandons his life and walks out, and the other being the mundane life at home. Larkin’s attitude toward the two ways of living is shown through his diction,…

Compare the ways in which the poets you studied this year use poetry as a form of protest. Different poets utilise various poetic techniques to express their opposition against war, death and society. Wilfred Owen in ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’ and Siegfried Sassoon in ‘Suicide in the Trenches’ condemn the glorification of war based on their experiences in World War One. ‘Funeral Blues’ by WH Auden and ‘Do no go gentle into that good night’ by Dylan Thomas convey the poets’ common objection against…

In Bruce Catton's essay "Grand and Lee: A study in Contrasts," the author uses compare and contrast to highlight each general's different strengths, upbringing, and values. In addition to compare and contrast, describing aspects of their life provides better insight into each general's envision for the country. Both armies in the Civil War fought to preserve their way of life, and their purpose reflected the values of their leaders. But despite their differences, the two generals were able to…

Zimbardo studied sociology, anthropology, and psychology throughout college and landed a job as a psychology professor. He then began studying cult behavior and mind control, which led to starting of the Stanford Prison experiment. The controversial study led to debates of ethical standards and negative psychological impacts on participants…

Now, as the book progresses on, Zimbardo launches into his experiment which to me is quite interesting and impressive. In this experiment, Zimbardo is wanting to prove that in certain situations, normal good people can turn into perpetrators of evil who commit such behaviors. He calls this, “The Stanford Prison experiment” in which normal individuals were assigned to prisoners and guards as a test of psychology of imprisonment. After having done this, Zimbardo became witness to an extreme number…

In the summer of 1971, Dr. Zimbardo designed and conducted an experiment that would forever change the way that sociologists and psychologists viewed human nature and how environmental circumstances can change a person’s psyche. While the experiment was designed to last two weeks, it had to be terminated after the sixth day due to the rapid increase of abuse against the prisoners by the guards. Though it is now considered extremely unethical by society’s standards today, The Stanford Prison…

Throughout the movie, The Stanford Prison Experiment, multiple incidents defined the experiment as unethical. I remembered the infamous experiment from high school, but did not remember if the experiment took place before or after the establishment of the institutional review board. Logically, I assumed that this experiment took place before the implementation of the International Review Board. However, I was wrong. I find the committee’s assessment both extremely interesting and troubling that…

The Stanford Prison Experiment Does giving one person more power than another really change the way that they will react in a certain situation? Do certain circumstances cause a different reaction in different people? That was the question for the Stanford Prison Experiment performed by Phil Zimbardo in 1971. In an attempt to show what life was like to be in prison, the inmates and guards of Stanford County Jail, were placed in an almost inhumane setting. The tyranny of the men in charge, along…
