Probably my most favorite of the Ted Talks. Phillip Zimbardo (of Stanford Prison Experiment "fame") talks about how good people can do evil, and how easy it is for this to happen under certain conditions. He also talks about how it is possible to choose to be a hero.

Why do ordinary people do evil, or do good? This presentation discusses what Phillip Zimbardo calls the Lucifer Effect, and asks the question: "How is it possible for ordinary, average, even good people to become perpetrators of evil?" It also touches upon how people can choose to become heros.

mothers are responsible for not teaching their kids to stand up for right and wrong, for not teaching them to see themselves as every-day heroes-in-waiting. so, now we have a generation of torturers. if one person in a group decides not to torture, 90% of people will decide not to torture too.

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.
