Stanford Prison Experiment

After recently learning about the Stanford Prison Experiment for my sociology class, I think the experiment was unethical. When I first began reading about it, I thought it was ethical because they were all volunteers. The more I read and the more videos I watched, I became shocked at what was taking place in this "prison".

Once the prison guards became comfortable with their roles, things got out of hand. Prisoners were becoming numbers rather than people, guards were becoming overly aggressive, and even the doctors conducting the experiment were taking their roles too seriously. The experiment only lasted six days opposed to the intended two weeks. If the experiment was not unethical then they wouldn't have ended it so soon.

Week One Blog Entry: Introductions

My name is Natalina Ciarapica, but most people call me Natalie. This is my first year attending Eastern Shore Community College. I am taking four classes, two of which are online. Once I complete General Studies, I will be transferring to a four year college.

The main reason I am starting at the community college is because I am unsure about what career path to take. I have considered Sports Medicine, Physical Therapy, and Vet Tech. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals, and this is the profession I am leaning towards. I am eager to start college and further my education.

When I am not at school, I am working as a waitress at the local marina. I love music and have always been very passionate about it. I was in the Honors Choir all through Jr. high as well as high school. I am also passionate about volleyball. I started playing volleyball when I was in sixth grade, and have been playing ever since. In my spare time, I help coach varsity at my old school.
