and Phillip Zambardo at Stanford University was to investigate the cause of aggression and hostility found in prison environments. The state of the prison system has long been explained away by the idea that "the state of the social institution of prison is due to the "nature" of the people who administrate it‚ or the "nature" of the people who populate is‚ or both" (Haney‚ Banks and Zimbardo‚ 1973‚ p. 2). According to the study‚ there was no specific hypotheses to be tested aside from proving whether

The guards were told to do what was needed to maintain order in the prison. They were both given uniforms‚ including the guards given sunglasses to wear so that their eyes could not be seen (they cannot make

These earlier interpretations essentially contend something like “if we all shared the same circumstances as the soldiers working the prison‚ we all would have ended up doing basically the same thing”. Because of their background and that the article contains some of their own experiments the article has much ethos. The writers include themselves in the article through their experiments.

Nature vs. Nurture: Who leads the dance? I am writing this essay on nature vs. nurture to try to figure out which is more important. Nature is the side says that our behavior is pre-determined by our genes and DNA. A lot of the nature research has to deal with twin studies and IQ. Nurture is the side that says our environment shapes our behavior. Many people believe we are born a “blank slate”‚ and are influenced to behave a certain way.
