Every once in awhile I visit Ted.com to learn about some fascinating research. Philip Zimbardo was the researcher responsible for the Stanford Prison experiment of 1971. This is the classic psychology experiment that demonstrated what can happen when you put GOOD people in an evil place. This research provides insight into the power of situation. Zimbardo examines the atrocities of Abu Ghraib as a parallel.
Warning that some images are disturbing.
