Abusive psychology is acquired-this is the final conclusion of this prison experiment

Halfway through seeing it, I thought of the article on Mr. Liang Wendao’s Lucifer Effect that I saw earlier. This film must be adapted from the famous prison experiment at Stanford University. It is based on real events. Similar movies include the German film Wave and the Rwanda Hotel. .

Travis is a good man like Christ. When I saw his costume in the movie, the first thing I thought of was Jesus Christ. He works part-time in nursing homes to help the elderly and participates in anti-war demonstrations. He is not a complete saint, but just like ordinary people, he is gentler and kinder.

In order to achieve a trip to India with his beloved woman, he participated in a well-paid experiment, which is the legendary prison experiment. The people who participated in the experiment were divided into two categories, prison guards and prisoners. Obviously, these people were also carefully selected by the experimenters. At the beginning of the experiment, these participants were interviewed.

For example, Berrys, who seems to be honest and weak at the age of 42 and still lives with his mother, was chosen as the head of the prison guard. Various options must have been considered by the experimenter. Our kind male lead became a prisoner. Various details do not want to review.

In the end, the honest and weak Barris became the culprit who provoked all the problems. Yes, he perfectly interpreted the warden. He seemed to have gained confidence from it. He can also control others, educate others, control others, and become Cruel and not humane, well, this is how a good person becomes a bad person, and the Lucifer effect appears. As far as I know, the real Stanford prison incident should be more cruel and longer than this. Please Baidu for details.

Do you think this is a simple Lucifer effect? mistaken! When I saw the prisoners no longer compromise and decided to take revenge, my heart was filled with all kinds of depression and release! ! ! In fact, I understand that this is the real Lucifer effect. These repressed "prisoners", Travis who was bullied, when they have had enough and can no longer bear it and pay back with violence, you only understand These good people who have been bullied use the same way to counter those who have bullied them in the same way.

You might say that they were forced to be like this. Indeed, the prison guards are not so-called "real bad guys." They are all ordinary people and even have no criminal record. But in such an experiment, they became thorough. The bad guys, they use power as an excuse. I am a prison guard, so I should be like this. They are even brave. They have forgotten their identities. They have become the role they play.

They have lost themselves and lost themselves. Well, it seems to be a re-established society. I will set the rules and put all humanity and morals aside. What you have to face is that this is their nature. Their appearance in a normal society may not be their true self at all, and it is here that they show their suppressed nature.

I have been very angry after watching the movie, and I have been asking why? Why did it become like this? In fact, I cannot accept the ugly side of human nature. In fact, it's always there.

What I want to complain about is that if some psychologists create these experiments in pursuit of experimental results, they themselves have psychological problems.

Think of a lot. . . It’s almost time to get off work--That’s it!

When I got home, I was calmer, and there was still sleet outside, which was calm enough.

The original purpose of this famous psychological experiment was to study whether the psychology of abuse is congenital or acquired. The conclusion is obvious that the psychology of abuse can be "cultivated".

I still remember that a lot of scenes flashed in the beginning of the film. Animals. Nature. In fact, the law of survival of the fittest. Perhaps this is the most natural "Tao." But I still can’t put aside the education I have received for so many years. Is it better?

OK, maybe put the monkeys in a better environment, they will be more like humans than humans. In everything, humans seem to be like monkeys under experiment. The constant change of the external environment also keeps us changing. As the saying goes, the only constant is change. In fact, what we are doing is just adapting to life and adapting to the environment. If the environment is good, we can make progress every day and study hard. Father is kind and filial, like a person with a very high sense of morality. Why? Because of the environment. In the same way, if the environment changes, such as WEN GE, (well, I'm afraid of being harmonized--) relatives? family? Although I have never experienced it, it is described as unsightly.

When I think about it, God, human beings are so small, there is no so-called freedom, there is no absolute freedom, we are just the product of society, it is nothing but some people can actively adapt, some people cannot adapt and should be eliminated. Our thoughts are still controlled by the environment. Even if you are a good person like Travis, you will eventually become under pressure. You see your anger, and see that anger turns yourself into the person you despise the most. . HOW? WHY?

Or we are more willing to believe that nature is such a miraculous, natural selection, you can be any kind of you, good, bad, violent, angry, kind, this is all you, these It’s written in your genes, just like cancer. As long as the cancer breaks out under a certain physical environment (of course, it’s a bad situation), so do we. In a harsh environment, even if we don’t want to believe it, we still Can be the devil! Just like that sentence said: "The devil has been released. It smiles and looks at this group of good people who were once healthy and mentally normal!"

As described in the Bible, the devil is a fallen angel who rebelled against Jehovah! ! ! In fact, they have always been one person, two sides of the same person. Sometimes you can't help but choose. When the time comes, you can become a demon or an angel.

It turns out that there is no such thing as a human being who is originally good in nature, and it is not what Xunzi said that he is inherently evil in nature. When you see a good person, you are only living in a good and good environment, and the bad person you see is only unfortunately living in a life that he cannot choose.

There is no good or bad at all, but we have to distinguish between good and bad. In a world of evil, angels are the enemy.

  • Nix: Expert in the penitentiary system, are you boy?

    Travis: I just watch a lot of Discovery Channel.

  • Archaleta: Justice is what keeps us safe as a society. Ordered law.

    Travis: Justice is what starts wars. And eye for and eye for an eye. It takes a turning of the cheek for this species to evolve.

    Archaleta: Ah, so you're the one who knows what it's going to take for this society to evolve.

    Travis: I'm just regurgitating what people have been saying for a long time.
