Case Analysis Week 1:

Read the Chapter from The fifth discipline fieldbook entitled “The Language of Systems Thinking” (located in Course Resources) and Chapters 1-9 of The Lucifer Effect. Zimbardo, the author of your textbook The Lucifer Effect, describes the Stanford Prison Experiment as an example of the operation of three forces:

The inner nature of the person (e.g., dispositions, character, and personality)
The situation
The higher-order system effects.
Find examples of each of these in Chapters 1-9 and write a 2-3 page discussion of how your examples illustrate these forces. Locate and discuss at least two peer-reviewed articles related to the Stanford Prison Experiment or the three forces. For more information on the Stanford Prison Experiment go to YouTube and view videos of the Stanford Prison Experiment.
