Evil Acts by Ordinary People

It is said that ordinary people are not capable of evil acts, but it is obvious that whoever says that, obviously is not so called “street smart”.

Ordinary people are capable of evil acts and the three experiments that were briefly explained will support the “evil” theory, therefore making anybody aware of the dangers that little factors can pose. Soloman Ashe conducted an experiment showing how strong of a hold that peer pressure can have on somebody. In the experiment, Ashe had a leader who would show somebody a card with a line on it and they would have to match one of the three lines to the line that was shown. However, in each trial, the experiment subject was not aware of the other people who were actually actors and told to say the same answer no matter.

In life, most evil acts occur because people peer pressure other people into doing the wrong thing. Michael Jackson is a good case of peer pressure because when he was young, people started to criticize him and how he looked and people suggested that he
