Article Review
Could you be pushed to commit a horrific crime?
Although most individuals can readily predict their response during a stressful situation, recent advancements have
revealed that situational forces can have a far greater impact on one’s behavior than previously acknowledged. In fact,
discoveries have been revealed which provide shocking insight into human behaviors and abuse. Read the article by
Hong (2012) and write a two-page review examining how “normal” individuals can become vulnerable to heinous acts
when placed under certain duress. What can be learned from Zimbardo’s prison experiment? Can certain correlations be
drawn from the conditions in Abu Ghraib? Could you blindly follow the commands received by an authority figure?
