The Stanford Prison Experiment

I knew about the Stanford Prison Experiment previously mainly because there was a movie about it on Netflix but it is really interesting how the experiment turned out and what we can learn from the experiment. First, we can see how people given a sense an authority can easily abuse their power when they are not checked by someone else. In a way we can see that with a list of leaders throughout history that were elected and given a sense of authority, but they end up abusing it which leave the people to be suppressed. I find it interesting how people can easily abuse their power when they are given the "freedom" of their authority.
