The Guard

prisoners were tortured, verbally and mentally abused. It could have also been because if their timid and submissive attitudes that held them back from intervening with the bad guards, it may have been easier to stand with the bad guards than to oppose them, the bad guards had complete control over the prisoners as well the good guards. The prisoners tried to work within the prison system simply because they believed it was a real prison system. The prisoners were detached from the outside…

colleagues questioned the prison guards’ actions. This could be associated with the term “social power” which refers to a person’s ability to control the behavior of others and thus, indirectly, his own environment (Miller, 11). Zimbardo portrayed a laissez-faire leadership so that he could carefully watch how rapidly the participants’ roles progressed and in the end embraced. He had a hand in controlling the Warden he appointed who thus controlled the prison guards. Although there was no proper…

in order to get ready. In Januda land no one had any idea on what was going to happen so they were just going along with their business. Everyone in Januda land was ready for an attack at any moment. All the people carried weapons, and there were guards and officers everywhere. The lumberjacks were about to leave, but Zane called another meeting. He walked up onto the stage and said “We are going to take over Januda Land!” and all the people cheered. The people then got all of their stuff…

day you are wearing down your teeth. Not only wearing them down, but creating stress fractures that can lead to crowns and root canals. One simple fix, wear a night guard when you sleep. A properly fitted mouth guard will help protect your teeth from the tightening and grinding. They aren’t for everyone. Sometimes mouth guards can cause problems if you’ve had trauma to your mouth or teeth…

Not every interaction between prisoners and guards could be constantly monitored by the experimenters, even excluding areas that the recording devices could not reach – experimenters could not possibly track every subject in real time with the technology they had in 1973 (video and audio recording was simply not as high of quality as it is today). Furthermore, since guards and prisoners knew that they were being recorded, they may have acted differently than…

Wilson gets captured by the undercover male cops and is sentenced to prison by the male judge. The male guards are present throughout the movie, guarding and watching the prison from outside and also guarding the prisoners when they go out to work at the agricultural training grounds. Also at the end and during the first escape, when the girls rebelled against the prison system, it was the male guards outside the prison system trying to stop them from escaping. The presence of male characters…

the roles as either a prisoner or prison guard. Many people responded to the ad sent out in the local paper looking for volunteers. They “were given diagnostic interviews and personality tests to eliminate candidates with psychological problems, mental disabilities, or a history of crime or drug abuse.” (The Story :) Of the 70 who responded 24 were chosen, all were male, educated, and physically and mentally healthy. To choose who was either a guard or prisoner a coin was flipped. The men…

Furthermore it revealed the same was true for the guards. Even though this was just a mock prison and the prisoners and guards could have acted however they wanted, both sides still chose to act in a negative way towards each other. This study showed just how much inmates are affected by the social structure in a prison. Even though each…

the role of guards and prisoners. In the study, he manages to find a group of male college students to participate in his experiment. The students were paid…

doing so. As for the guards in this experiment, they were never told how to be a guard. They were aloud to take on the role as they saw fit and do whatever was necessary to keep the order of the prison. This lead to the guards making their own rules. However, the guards did have to dress properly. They were dressed in kakis and wore a whistle. Additionally, they carried around billy clubs, and wore sunglasses so that no one could tell their real emotion or identity. The guards worked eight-hour…
