Boarding school and military training, two prisons.

Bobby 2022-12-13 07:11:18

I think of the high school boarding life and university military training without freedom, like a prison, depriving individuals through clothing, punishing and coercing obedience, and the ultimate goal is to enslave management and eliminate the sense of resistance. After leaving, some people walked out of the prison, and some people built a prison for themselves forever. The most terrifying thing is when I no longer think that my freedom is being deprived, but I am willing to adapt to the system and even help maintain it. In a word, stay awake at all times and be aware of what is going on around you.

The Stanford Prison Experiment quotes

  • Jesse Fletcher: You brought me here to legitimize this experiment and there's nothing legitimate about this place, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: You're right. You're right. I didn't explain it well. Prisons, they represent a loss of freedom, literally and symbolically.

    Jesse Fletcher: Yeah, but that does not explain why they're wearing dresses. They're wearing dresses, Phil.

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes, I understand. Uh, we're trying to strip away their individuality. Make them uniform. Feminize them.

    Jesse Fletcher: Feminize them?

    Dr. Philip Zimbardo: Yes. Feminize them. Take away all the things that make them them. You see, we're trying to understand how an institution affects an individual's behavior. We're trying to do something... We're trying to do something good.

  • Karl Vandy: It's easy for you to say, 'Oh, I wouldn't have acted that way', but you don't know. That's - that's the truth. You don't know. And now I know what I'm capable of, and it hurts.
