They Were Students on Monday. By Friday, They Were Monsters.

This video delves into the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment conducted by psychologist Philip Zimbardo. It narrates the transformation of carefully selected young men from normal participants to cruel guards and submissive prisoners within just two days. The narration highlights how the guards quickly began stripping prisoners of their identities, forcing them to endure humiliating tasks, leading some to crack under pressure. Despite being a controlled environment, the experiment was halted early due to escalating abuses. This chilling account questions the nature of evil and its origins in societal roles rather than individual character flaws.
