The power of uniform


An animated narrative about how cameras made in art-class eroded the
humanity of an entire school.

More on the power of uniform:

The Stanford Prison Experiment -- I took Intro to Psychology from this guy. 1) put people in a basement. 2) give half of them mirrored sun-glasses. Start calling the biggest asshole "John Wayne". 3) watch the sadism unfold.

The Milgram Experiments -- tell people to give that guy there electric shocks when he answers wrong, and see how many of them do it. Make sure you're wearing your "scientist" uniform.

Strong evidence for the banality of evil.
