Phillip Zimbardo is an American psychologist who is best known for his famous 1971 experiment Stanford prison experiment. In this experiment, subjects were labelled "guards" or "prisoners," and were asked to embrace these roles. The struggle between the two groups resulted in abuses of power and psychological torture in many cases, with people becoming emboldened by their newly-found authority. The experiment showed that people are not necessarily "good" or "evil." Instead, a person's capacity for good or evil can change based on their social environment.
