Stanford Prision Experiement - Is it really creative evil?

I once watched a movie having a similar outcome; The Felon.  A honest, hardworking father and husband; Stephen, mistakenly killed a man who was burglarizing his home. While chasing the intruder he made one swing with a bat, killing him. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to three years in a maximum security prison along side some of the most violent offenders, where the guards used brutality as a means of control.  Outside of work, the guards lead normal lives with wives and children. Each day spent in prison environment seemed to rendered Stephen and the guards more desensitized then the day before.  For Stephen, normal life experiences in society couldn't prepare him for daily life in a violent prison.  He soon became a product of his environment. I agree with the critics of Zimbardo.  Any experiment rendering participants emotionally, physically and psychological scarred is not worthy to be called research and is unethical.  Though the experiments were conducted on a voluntary basis, it should have been stopped immediately  as soon as these issues surfaced. It's not worth the damaged caused.

Introduction

Hi, My name is Catrice Caffee, and I'm a second year student at NOVA.  I'm a LPN, working toward earning my nursing degree.  I'm taking this course because it's required, however I'm sure it will prove beneficial. I'm a mother of three and a grandmother of two.  I've taken majority of my classes on line while working full-time.  I'm sure this is a similar story of many, who've decided to continue their education.  I chose inspirational snack as my heading because I believe it's is a driving force that motivates many to push forward while facing challenges.  I'm sure this journey has not been easy for most of us.  Whether your inspiration are your children, giving back to society, admiration of another you've witness move forward while facing challenges or just the desire to accomplish greater things in life; we all need inspiration and to make useful that something that pushes us to move forward.  Once, I complete my course work and go on to pass my state boards, I plan to return to earn my Bachelors.  My desire is to teach others; make an investment. We often use the term work when describing our jobs, but I wish to use the term serve and hope that everyday I can fulfill my duties as a nurse serving and investing in others.   I'm sure this course work and all that I'll learn will be useful both personally and vocationally.  I'm looking forward to all this course has to offer this semester.
