[quote=TED talks]Philip Zimbardo knows how easy it is for nice people to turn bad. In this talk, he shares insights and graphic unseen photos from the Abu Ghraib trials. Then he talks about the flip side: how easy it is to be a hero, and how we can rise to the challenge.[/quote]

Brilliant stuff, his psychology of heroism is so basic and makes so much sense, especially the sociocentric/egocentric difference.

Just finished watching it. Very intriguing ideas he brings up, thank you for posting it.

It looks like he gained about 100 pounds since his Psychology video series.

When he said 'the power of anonymity," I instantly thought about the internet.
