The Stanford Prison Study: Approach To Immunization

The Stanford Prison study leads to most harm when compared to Immunization. A Stanford Professor and a Psychologist Philip Zimbardo experimented using University students keeping the ideology how human psychology works between Guard(Superior) and Prisoner(inferior) ranks in society. Its result brought out most notorious. Taking a group of volunteers and making them into two groups and naming one group to be GUARDS(Police officers(Superior job)) and another half to Prisoners(Imaginative prisoners (inferior position)) and the experiment was about to held till 2 weeks but it was finished in six days due to some students mental breakdown, sadism and hunger strike.

The first day of the experiment nothing much happened but from 2nd-day things starting

After the experiment was finished, the guards and prisoners were interviewed to describe the reasons on what makes them act in particular way. “The abusive prison guard, Mr. Eshleman, also felt he gained something from the experiment, "I learned that in a particular situation I 'm probably capable of doing things I will look back on with some shame later on,” he said.”"(Leithead, 2011). But prisoner Mr. Ramsey felt the experiment should never have taken place as it had no true scientific basis and was ethically wrong, “The best thing about it is that it ended early,” he said.(Leithead, 2011)

This experiment shows us, how human nature change according to the different power of situations. The recent real examples was Abu Ghraib jail. Besides this, there are hundreds of millions of these cases taking place in every part of the world in day to day

And usually it comes to public when already harm being done and the criminals after committing crime runs away or victim due to fear of death or threat don’t tell about that criminal. I think, scientist, media, government and also public can work together to decrease these cases. First, before providing any superior positions, these people must test their personality type and attitude, how their majority of thinking is and how they act in anger and challenge etc. Second, could be building a team working after these superior position people to see and check how they are doing their duty. And for public and common people every colony must have security cameras for capturing and alarming and inhumane actions to police as soon and possible. Third, when these superiors(criminals) are caught as treating others inhumanely, they must be punished so that future coming cases decreases. I think media and games teach actions and fight, these are also spoiling and affecting. On one side they say that they are bringing awareness, but on the other side they are teaching people what else they can do to harm their
