Analysis Of The Stanford Prison Experiment By Weul Mcleod
Power corrupts people usually when the other person is helpless and that’s usually when some people may take advantage of that. In some cases, they would even torture them physically and verbally, whether it’s from taunting them, saying mean things, or beating them. Some people can have power without more traits the other like in certain situations if a man is stuck in a prison cell or a man trapped in a well.
“Within a very short time, both guards and prisoners were settling into their new roles, with their guards adopting theirs quickly and easily”, paragraph 10. The Stanford Prison Experiment by Saul Mcleod. When they were acquiring new roles, they became aggressive to one another and had experienced mood changes. Since the guards had more
power, the prisoners started to get mad, sad, scared, etc. Power is very corruptive, it can make mental changes in people since they take in so much that they can manipulate.
In conclusion, the purpose of power isn’t to take control of others, instead, it should be used correctly. It’s important who should be trusted with power and who you shouldn’t because they may be affected in many different ways. “As soon as she said she was sorry because she had broken one of the rules. I could see it on her face, eyes filling with space as she moved back from the well”, paragraph 29. The Well by Ira Sher. Wendy had said that they was going to get help but they had never done anything for the man, instead, they just sat there while the man suffered. There wasn’t anything the man could do if the kids weren’t going to help him and this supports why you shouldn’t manipulate.
