The Lucifer Effect
Author: Philip Zimbardo
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0812974441
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 578
Book Description
The definitive firsthand account of the groundbreaking research of Philip Zimbardo—the basis for the award-winning film The Stanford Prison Experiment Renowned social psychologist and creator of the Stanford Prison Experiment Philip Zimbardo explores the mechanisms that make good people do bad things, how moral people can be seduced into acting immorally, and what this says about the line separating good from evil. The Lucifer Effect explains how—and the myriad reasons why—we are all susceptible to the lure of “the dark side.” Drawing on examples from history as well as his own trailblazing research, Zimbardo details how situational forces and group dynamics can work in concert to make monsters out of decent men and women. Here, for the first time and in detail, Zimbardo tells the full story of the Stanford Prison Experiment, the landmark study in which a group of college-student volunteers was randomly divided into “guards” and “inmates” and then placed in a mock prison environment. Within a week the study was abandoned, as ordinary college students were transformed into either brutal, sadistic guards or emotionally broken prisoners. By illuminating the psychological causes behind such disturbing metamorphoses, Zimbardo enables us to better understand a variety of harrowing phenomena, from corporate malfeasance to organized genocide to how once upstanding American soldiers came to abuse and torture Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib. He replaces the long-held notion of the “bad apple” with that of the “bad barrel”—the idea that the social setting and the system contaminate the individual, rather than the other way around. This is a book that dares to hold a mirror up to mankind, showing us that we might not be who we think we are. While forcing us to reexamine what we are capable of doing when caught up in the crucible of behavioral dynamics, though, Zimbardo also offers hope. We are capable of resisting evil, he argues, and can even teach ourselves to act heroically. Like Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem and Steven Pinker’s The Blank Slate, The Lucifer Effect is a shocking, engrossing study that will change the way we view human behavior. Praise for The Lucifer Effect “The Lucifer Effect will change forever the way you think about why we behave the way we do—and, in particular, about the human potential for evil. This is a disturbing book, but one that has never been more necessary.”—Malcolm Gladwell “An important book . . . All politicians and social commentators . . . should read this.”—The Times (London) “Powerful . . . an extraordinarily valuable addition to the literature of the psychology of violence or ‘evil.’”—The American Prospect “Penetrating . . . Combining a dense but readable and often engrossing exposition of social psychology research with an impassioned moral seriousness, Zimbardo challenges readers to look beyond glib denunciations of evil-doers and ponder our collective responsibility for the world’s ills.”—Publishers Weekly “A sprawling discussion . . . Zimbardo couples a thorough narrative of the Stanford Prison Experiment with an analysis of the social dynamics of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.”—Booklist “Zimbardo bottled evil in a laboratory. The lessons he learned show us our dark nature but also fill us with hope if we heed their counsel. The Lucifer Effect reads like a novel.”—Anthony Pratkanis, Ph.D., professor emeritus of psychology, University of California

Lucifer's Reign & Satan's Fall
Author: Dr. Angela M. Croone
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1426949308
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
All was perverted in the earth from man to beast under Satans totalitarian rule; men who were novices to wickedness now breathe it with proficiency with the iniquitous philosophies of Lucifer and the undergirding of his celestial subordinates. The pre-Adamites became Satans calamitous disembodied spirits. God would unreservedly destroy the world with a flood. His creation has become mutinous, a decadence of men and a hosts of celestial subordinates; Satan has weakened the nations. Now the Architect of Darkness has schematically designed in his heart to dethrone God in an insurgence like no other! In this scholarly exploration of the mysteries of our past and present world, Dr. Angela Croone considers the topics of history, paleontology, science, physics, climatic change, and accurate theology as they relate to the Genesis Gap. This term refers to the world before the present time that existed between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. Croone examines related biblical texts and their implications in controversial issues regarding both our past and our present. Meticulously researched and thoroughly presented, Galgaliel Angels and D[a]emons provides a better understanding of our historyits light and its darkness.
