Read/watched a lot of articles to get slight knowledge in Psychology
First thing that I have grasped is there's not much difference between a person doing good/evil. In the sense any person can do good or evil depending on situation/circumstances. I think it's also explained beautifully in the film "Raavan".
Philip Zimbardo has explained the concept in his term Lucifer effect i.e. how good people become evil.
He attributes it to three factors
1. Internal - Inside of Individual
2. Situation
3. Context i.e. system i.e. political, economic and legal.
The Lucifer Effect raises a fundamental question about the nature of human nature: How is it possible for ordinary, average, even good people to become perpetrators of evil?
He review's classic and current research on:
Authority Side - conformity, obedience to authority, role-playing,
The other Side - dehumanization, deindividuation and moral disengagement.
Simple experiment at Yale University to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person simply because he was ordered to by an experimental scientist.
(15 Volt to 450 Volt)
How authorities/government can seduce anyone
Ideology to justify anything
Start- A small step, just do this
Increase small proportion
Justify authority
Leader becomes monster
Rules are vague
Situation
Social Models of compliance
Allow verbal dissent, insist on behavior
Make exiting difficult
Dehumanization, deindividuation - Stanford Prison Experiment, Good apple in bad barrels
1. “Lord of the flies” in exp situation – Changing ones external appearance triggers violence in good boys
2. Stanford Prison Experiment - Prisoners and Guards all normal people. And how guards did cruelty on prisoners.
How can we understand the heroism ?
