Which statement best summarizes Zimbardo’s perspective on the average person’s ability for evil?

A. People will continue to do bad things if they know they can blame it on their social surroundings.  

B. A person's capacity for good or evil can change based on their social environment.

C. Social experiments are necessary to determine humanity’s capacity for evil.

D. Evil actions are justified if a person is in a challenging social situation.

Answer:

B. A person's capacity for good or evil can change based on their social environment.

Explanation:

According to the Stanford prison experiment done by Philip Zimbardo, some participants were taken to a facility where they had to act as prisoners and guards.

The "prisoners" were humiliated and dehumanized by the "guards", even though the "guards" were reluctant at first, but as they began to maltreat the "prisoners", they became more comfortable with their acts and began to do more and more.

The experiment shows that a person's ability for evil is based on how their social environment is.

ddd [48]

You forgot to mention that this question is about the article "The Flight from Conversation".

Answer:

With the use of oxymoron, Turkle meant that we live constantly alone, but always in "contact" with the people we care about through technology. This statement influences the entire article showing how this ability is affecting our personal relationships.

Explanation:

The article shows how technology has enabled an atificial and shallow form of community. This is because technology allows us to talk to anyone, anywhere in the world, however, this communication does not form bonds and we are always alone.

However, we are alone in a collective way, since all people use this same type of communication. This results in the creation of large groups, which in fact do not exist, are not substantial. As the author of the article says, technology makes us come "a tribe of one."
