part: 3
1- In the encounter sessions, all the prisoners were happy the experiment was over, but most of the guards were upset that the study was terminated prematurely. Why do you think the guards reacted this way?
i think that the guards reacted that way because they were very upset because their power was taken away immediately after the research was done. The guards thought that they needed to be listening and they used bad force to make the prisoners listen to them.
2- How do you think you would have behaved if you were a prisoner in this situation? Would you have rejected these privileges in order to maintain prisoner solidarity?
I would be very upset because I think that it wasn’t fair for the guards to be treating the prisoners so meanly, also i think that is not fair to give privileges to some prisoners just because the guards felt like it or just because they starting behaving a certain way that they wanted them to or for things that they needed to do for them
part: 4:
