Famous “Research” in a New Light

Classmate Ethan shared a rather interesting link with me yesterday, which sheds some new light on the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment. It turns out that beyond the famous ethical issues and some obvious scientific concerns, there may be a rather… unfactual report of what actually took place.

It’s pretty interesting. Thanks Ethan!

That one is largely based on this long, but very interesting article: https://medium.com/s/trustissues/the-lifespan-of-a-lie-d869212b1f62

But it turns out that Zimbardo isn’t alone. There are some concerns about the accuracy of Millgram’s Obedience Study, as well! https://psmag.com/social-justice/electric-schlock-65377

 

Mental Illnesses: Facts, Myths, & Questions

Before we get too deep into specific mental illnesses, I want to know a bit about what you’ve heard, thought, or wondered about. If you have any facts to pass along, myths you want to debunk, or things you want to know, here’s the place to do it. Please give this some thought and contribute to our discussion:

Conflict & PEACE!

There are 5 main elements to a good story. Just because you have been such a wonderful class this semester, I’m going to share one of my very favourite lessons. If you’re lucky, you may even remember this one for years to come (like the grade 11 students sitting in my room at lunch who reminded me to show you this)

Watch this! (actually, watch it a few times to make sure that it has time to permanently embed into your brain!)

Today we’ll focus on one of those elements: CONFLICT

You will have to write about conflicts in our next “novel.” To do it, however, I want you to try to use PEACE!

Put those together and you’ve got yourself a recipe for success on your next assignment AND your final EXAM!

 

Exam Review!

See how much of this document you can complete without checking your notes or the website or The Internet. The questions you can’t do are the ones that you need to study! If you want to attempt this and hand it in and see how you did, I’ll be glad to have a look at it, or you can just use this to discuss, review, whatever.
