1. How to write smart… If you hope to get an ‘A’ on your Milgram, Zimbardo, and Abu Ghraib paper, you need to “write smart.” What does this mean? This means you need to prove that you understand the findings of the experiments…AND show that you can critically assess their findings. A smart writer will identify what the experiments DO explain AND point out what they DON’T explain. Here’s how….

2. In Abu Ghraib, the Military Police guards did BLAH BLAH BLAH. In the results of his1972 Stanford Prison experiment, Philip Zimardo argued that people in authority BLAH BLAH BLAH. Since the guards in Abu Ghraib were also BLAH BLAH BLAH, Zimbardo might say that they BLAH BLAH BLAH. On the other hand, the Abu Ghraib prison guards were BLAH BLAH BLAH. Zimbardo’s perspective does not give us reason to believe that BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Zimbardo’s perspective does not give us reason to believe that BLAH BLAH BLAH. Specific piece of evidence from Abu Ghraib. Specific finding from Zimbardo (or Milgram). Explain specifically how this finding would interpret the piece of evidence from Abu Ghraib Introduce another piece of evidence that shows a counter example to this interpretation. Explain why Zimbardo (or Milgram) do not have an answer for this particular piece of evidence.
