Dr. Phillip Zimbardo

Dr. Zimbardo is a professor emeritus at Stanford University in California.  In psychology, we discussed Dr. Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment.  The experiment has its own website, Stanford Prison Experiment, if you'd like to learn more about it.

Dr. Zimbardo was a guest on Monday's episode of The Dr. Phil Show.  You can view a portion of the episode and read about his appearance at Dr. Phil's website.  Dr. Zimbardo has consistently studied why good people do bad things since his early research.

If you would like ten bonus points, please check out these websites and write a half-page summary of what you learn or post a comment below.  Do you agree with Dr. Zimbardo's theory that it's possible for a good person to turn evil?  Extra credit is due on Friday, October 29.
