Order Description

write an analysis of Philip Zimbardo’s “Stanford Prison
Experiment” that also incorporates one other text (or film) that we have studied so far this semester. The
primary goal of this assignment is for you to develop a critical perspective on Zimbardo’s essay that
utilizes an outside source to help you develop your argument.
As we have been discussing in class, an analysis need not be a complete take-down of the text at hand,
and on the other end of the spectrum, it also need not be a full-scale showering of praise on the text.
Instead, a good analysis engages specific aspects of the text in order to make a point about What you
believe are the important issues in the text. Think of your outside source as a way to help you articulate
and reflect on the big picture – the larger issues and questions surrounding Zimbardo’s study (for
example, the nature of evil, or the relation between individual identity and role-playing, or the complex
nature of authority and obedience, etc). A good analysis will always address one or several of these larger
issues.
Use this big picture issue (which should be addressed by your thesis statement) as an
organizational/structural principle for your essay. In other words, every point you make in the body of
your paper should connect to an develop what you are arguing in your thesis statement about the big
picture. Your second source, whatever you choose, must play a central role in helping you elaborate
argument, and must be mentioned in your thesis statement.
