Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder - Twilight Zone reaction

In the beginning I thought it was kind of weird and boring, and I couldn't see where it was going. Then when they started pulling of the bandages on her face, I thought the experiment "worked", but then someone in the class said that she was gonna be really pretty and all the nurses and doctors were gonna be ugly, so I wasn't really surprised at the end. Yes, I do think beauty is subjective, in different cultures and in different times beauty could be considered something completely different than what we think beauty is here and today. Yes I do think beauty changes, because 60 years ago girls of different body shape were considered beautiful, than the girls considered beautiful today. Here in Kimberly, beautiful is tan skin, longer hair, lots of make-up, the right kind of clothes, like the boots with fur, for girls. Guys who are attractive are guys who are tan, tall, buff.

Stanford Prison Study

Part A: Sometimes when you get into an arguement with a friend you say stuff to them you wouldn't normally say.

Part B: I believe the guards changed the most. I started to forget they were really college students. Each day the punishments they did got worse and they did more and more each day. Even thought they didn't physically hit or hurt any of the prisoners, they used many other punishments that seemed worse. I don't think real prison guards would do the things they did. They took advantage of the power they were given. I think the situation took control over their actions. Because of the situation they became bad people, but in real life they're truly good people.
