Zimbardo’s investigation: Stanford Prison Experiment Critiquing whether the experiments that Zimbardo imposed on the people that were involved was robust or not, it detailed much more information that was suddenly discovered to become a detriment to what his work was implying in doing. Zimbardo’s studies were measured in 1973, where his idea of American prisoners and guards had personalities that were damned to explain why the brutality levels started to increase in the jail institutions. Becoming inevitable with yourself is leading something to believe it’s true and the guards and prisoners were discovering it was certain and how it can conflict with them not respecting how the law

He needed to figure this out, without the consent or liabilities he had to face after, he need to grab this conclusion of his and present it to not just his audience but the world.

Zimbardo’s statistics were more than aggravating and gave more than just a conclusion to the studies he directed towards the cellmates and the cell guards, which gave him information that struck the world the most. He sought to find what was wrong with the implementations and proceeded with tasks that were needed to fulfill the studies that were mainly directed to why prisoners and prison guards were beginning to build different compromises within themselves. The study consisted on 24 applicants that were embodied with this procedure and who were also going to gain something out of it which is to be paid $15 per day when the studies were concluded. The task that

Becoming submissive with the guards was something Zimbardo found satisfying but nonetheless suprising as the prisoners wanted to build a group of their own to go against the prisoners. The punishments that were given were more than just enough for them to say, “To hell with you and this,” but it was the beginning of a departure between emotion and conflict. More of what was going on with their state of being there began to change the way they behaved with simple diagnostics and traits that the guards were imposing on them. As the second day of this experiment approached, it was much more like all hell broke lose and the prisoners truly got the idea of not showing mercy to those who try to annihilate who they were and went against the prison guards and threw much more than a tirade. Zimbardo believed that these actions were something that he can try and conceive on with the studies he was trying to conduct, but their was a specific prisoner going by his ID #8612 had to be released due to his early stages of depression and almost losing it being locked up in those cells. Zimbardo knew things were going to somehow get
