The Guard

nothing better to do and I needed to get in shape, anyways. I had went to the conditioning work outs during the summer and everybody kept pressuring me to be in color guard. I thought color guard was pretty rad, but I had always told myself I'd never be good at it. Besides, I loved my flute. On the first day of band camp, the guard invited me to come see how…

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 studies ever conducted in the…

University who investigated how readily people would comply to the roles of guard and prisoner in a role-playing exercise that simulated prison life. Zimbardo was interested in finding out if guards were being reported for their brutality because of the dispositional hypothesis stating that the guards’ personalities and aggression is conflicting with disobeying prisoners or the situational explanation stating that prisoners and guards behavior is due to their environment. A basement at Stanford…

The article tried to address that the prison guards and convict would tend to slip into predefined roles, behaving in way that they thought was required rather than using their own judgment and morals. It addresses what happened when all of the individuality and dignity was stripped away from a human, and their life was completely controlled. It addresses that the dehumanization and loosing of social and moral values can happen to guards immerse in such situation. The hypothesis is that “if man…

see the Stanford Prison Experiment. When good people are put in an evil place, the evil place, unfortunately, dominates over the good people. One way of explaining this is by the “good” other guards’ behaviour. Even though Dave Eshleman’s behavior (nicknamed John Wayne) tested the prisoners, the other guards had the choice to intervene or leave the things as they were, but no one decided to step up and put an end to the prisoners’ suffering. Instead, they accepted what their leader said and did,…

important of these institutions were the Mobile Guard and the National Workshops. Both organizations recruited the Parisian unemployed for their memberships. Unfortunately, these measures by the government were only somewhat effective, and eventually lead to a violent uprising by the Parisian workforce. Thus, Traugott argues that in the four…

have can easily see played out in many instances, however I was pretty disturbed with the level of malicious treatment given towards the “prisoners” by the guards even though the whole scenario was merely an experiment and not a real life prison. I learned that due to the prisoner 's position and inferiority, they themselves granted the guards legitimization of authority and almost gave them the power to boss them around in a superficial setting. Once the prisoners got to the university’s…

study were split into groups: the guards and the prisoners. Once inside the prison there was to be no talk of the experiment to create the most realistic prison environment. After just six days, the trial was stopped due to the mental insanity that the prisoners were experiencing. The guards harassed the prisoners to the point where they begged in order to be let free. The “solitary confinement” was used as a punishment for unruly inmates. The power the guards had over the prisoners was abused…

is Joy Harjo, she is a graduate of the Iowa writers workshop at the university of Iowa. Joy was born in Tulsa,Oklahoma, May 9th ,1951 and is a muskoke poet. I think that it is rude not treat everyone fairly which is shown in the poem, the border guard is being rude to them cause there Indians. He assumes they're hiding something and asks if they have any liquor when they are just trying to cross the border. Just because they’re a different race than you doesn’t mean they did anything to hurt…
