The Stanford Experiment took me back to the human right violations of the Abu Ghraib detainees during the Iraqi invasion in 2003. The ethical treatment of prisoners by U.S soldiers was a turning point and how morals deflate very quickly under stressful situations. The Stanford Experiment was a failure because of the lack of outside control; the study needed analyzing without interacting in the experiment. The ethical allegation of Zimbardo study though, allowed use to theorize the question about human morals and the dark side to human behavior. Take for example, the young man who ?played the part? of the overzealous correctional officer; was he the ringleader, yes, was he disillusioned with control, were his ethics now gone because of the stress of the situation. Does conflict theory come into play, because the students who were ?prisoners? started to react to the environment? The behaviors of both sides started to act in a conflicting way; tolerance, from the guards weaken because of the defying prisoners, respect for ethical treatment of prisoners was brought into play ( by using sleep deprivation, solitary confinement , sanitation) and even Zimbardo experiment, started to control his beliefs. How quickly it happened. Until an outside source came in to engage and question the experiments ethical behavior, Zimbardo stopped it abruptly because of lack of control. Conflict theory equals power
