Ethics project

So far Catherine and I have been working on gathering information on the prison experience at Stanford. We are shocked at how the professor believed that experiment would turn out great and that he would see how prison is really held. But after two days the prisoners were badly abused by the guards, even though they were all volunteers and students at the university. I was completely shocked that people changed their behavior based on a title and they would let the prisoners leave the experiment. I am just happy that they closed the study and provided videos for people to watch. Catherine and I are still gathering information, but are meeting this week to deal with the small details.
