In my life, I have found at least 95% of the people I have
interacted will commit immoral acts/lie/cheat/ etc; as long
as it's legal? They won't Jaywalk, but will commit horrid/spineless acts in order to make a buck, or secure
their financial future. It would be hard to reproduce this
study because so many people know about it, but I doubt the
outcome would be much different. Man is spineless. I guess
if you do show conviction and stand up for what is right; you run the risk of Homelessness? To bad! Oh, and just
doing the right thing when people are looking, or convenient
doesn't count.
- triangleman 12y agoFirst of all, have you read the article? When you say "I doubt the outcome would be much different" are you basing that on the same prejudices that Zimbardo had when he ran the experiment the first time? Also, watch out for sloppy thinking: If people will commit immoral acts as long as it's legal, that makes them heartless, not spineless. Make sure you know what your standard is, because it will be used to judge you.
