The Experiment

I just noticed this recent movie, The Experiment, and found it interesting that it is based on the Stanford Prison Experiment. This is NOT a recommendation for the movie, I've not seen it and it's rated R. It is worth noting that the things learned about in psychology emerge in all areas of culture and life.

This blog exists for those who want to explore the creativity of God through the study of psychology. It is meant to enhance the learning experience of those taking AP Psychology classes taught by Emily Shorey. Learn more about yourself, your family, your friends, and the world. The study of psychology, as taught by Emily, is intended to go beyond equipping students to take the AP Psychology Exam. It is meant to create a greater awareness in students, resulting in individuals who are skilled in showing compassion to the people around them.
