Stewart has a good point.

He really does.

When not given exact specific instructions, some people will not know what course of action to take.

I am one of those people. I have so much information to potentially blog about, but I have no idea which topic to talk about and what facets of said topic I should talk about. Therefore I will just write about an amalgamation of stuff that we have watched.

Human behavior experiments-

These all remind me of the political philosopher from the enlightenment era, Thomas Hobbes.

He had a theory that was partially proved with these experiments and incidents. The idea that people are fundamentally evil and capable of ruthlessness and naturally respond to strong authority well. The experiments did involve response to authority, but in this case it was the authority controlling them to release the evil instead of containing it as Hobbes wrote. While the incidents have a lot of attachments to them, such as fear of personal harm, the idea of commitment, and the presence of peers that help to facilitate the evil acts- I think that it really is just natural and it really is just brought out into the open by strong authority.
