1、Unit 4 Organization and Institution Text A Preparatory Work (1) a. Institutionalization: refers to the process of embedding some conception (for example a belief, norm, social role, particular value or mode of behavior) within an organization, social system, or society as a whole. The term may also

2、be used to refer to committing a particular individual or group to an institution, such as a mental or welfare institution. b. Solitary confinement: is a form of imprisonment in which an inmate is isolated from any human contact, often with the exception of members of prison staff. It is mostly empl

3、oyed as a form of punishment beyond incarceration for a prisoner, usually for violations of prison regulations. However, it is also used as an additional measure of protection for vulnerable inmates. In the case prisoners at high risk of suicide, it can be used to prevent access to items that could

4、allow the prisoner to self-harm. c. Parole: is the provisional release of a prisoner who agrees to certain conditions prior to the completion of the maximum sentence period. A specific type of parole is medical parole or compassionate release which is the release of prisoners on medical or humanitar

5、ian grounds. Conditions of parole often include things such as obeying the law, refraining from drug and alcohol use, avoiding contact with the parolee s victims, obtaining employment, and maintaining required contacts with a parole officer. d. Rehabilitation: is the re-integration into society of a

6、 convicted person and the main objective of modern penal policy, to counter habitual offending, also known as criminal recidivism. Alternatives to imprisonment also exist, such as community service, probation orders, and others entailing guidance and aftercare towards the offender. (2) Main publicat

10、 participants, men from a diverse range of occupations with varying levels of education, to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience; the experiment found, unexpectedly, that a very high proportion of people were prepared to obey, albeit

11、 unwillingly, even if apparently causing serious injury and distress. Small-world experiment (six degrees of separation) The small-world experiment comprised several experiments conducted by Stanley Milgram and other researchers examining the average path length for social networks of people in the

12、United States. The research was groundbreaking in that it suggested that human society is a small-world-type network characterized by short path-lengths. The experiments are often associated with the phrase “six degrees of separation”, although Milgram did not use this term himself. Not closely rela

Body 3-10 (the experiment) The experiment of a mock prison with guards and prisoners were carried out and had to end earlier because of the frightening effect. III. Findings 11-13 (implication) Individual behavior is largely under the control

15、 of social forces and environmental contingencies rather than personality traits, character, willpower, or other empirically un-validated constructs. IV. Conclusion 14 (effects of prison) The prison situation is guaranteed to generate severe pathological reactions in both guards and prisoners as to

16、debase their humanity, and make it difficult for them to be part of a society outside of their prison. 2.(1) Zimbardo uses the specific example of a prisoners situation to plead for prison reform and to justify the experiment he conducted about the bad effect of prison. (2) They conduct an experimen

17、t about the effects of prison on both guards and prisoners. (3) They want to understand what it means psychologically to be a prisoner or a prison guard. (4) The 24 participants are selected randomly from volunteer students in Palo Alto city and they were randomly assigned roles of guards and prison

18、ers in a simulated prison. (5) At Stanford University in 1971. (6) The experiment has to be ended earlier than planned. (7) Because the effects of prison (abusing and being abused) on those being experimented are frightening. (8) The results show that people underestimate the power and pervasiveness

19、 of situational controls over behavior. (9) Individual behavior is largely under the control of social forces and environmental contingencies rather than personality traits, character, willpower, etc. Many people, perhaps the majority, can be made to do almost anything when put into psychologically

20、compelling situations regardless of their morals, ethics, values, attitudes, beliefs, or personal convictions. II. Evaluation and exploration (1)Hypothesis: the change of environment (including changed roles) affects ones behavior (students are put into a mock prison and assigned opposite roles whic

22、 abusers and victims Independent variable: the participants as human beings (the same human beings) (Stimulus: change of environment/roles) Dependent variable: behavior The experiment on the power and influence of roles assigned to ordinary individualsis basically valid and convincing, and similar e

23、xperiments also prove that most people s behavior are influenced by the social environment, particularly the new roles they are assigned. Unfortunately, the experiment cannot be confirmed due to the ethical concern (the harm caused by the experiment on the participants). And also, since the particip

24、ants of a social experiment are humans, the result might not be exactly the same (unlike the natural science experiment which can be repeated with precision and same result). (2)Similarities: the two experiments are all about the effect of assigned roles and social expectations on the behavior of th

25、e human being s. Differences: Zimbardo s experiment focuses on the gradual change of behavior on those who are assigned new roles (prison effect) while Stanleys experiment focuses on authoritys influence on individuals in normal circumstances (authority effect). (3) Power and its execution are close

26、ly related with the role assigned to the power-holder. The more important role he/she is given, the more likely he/she abuses it if there are no checks and balances from other institutions. It is very important to fight against corruption (in campaigns or through legal means), but its more important

27、 to set up mechanism to balance the role given to power-holders. (4) Zimbardo s statement or conclusion is based on his only experiment about humans and their environment and cannot be repeated due to ethical reasons. It is reasonable to argue that most people are influenced by the (change of) envir

28、onment and adapt to it quickly, which means personal “freedom ” is conditioned. However, there are exceptions, and this statement cannot explain the behavior of those heroes who stick to their principles under any circumstances and would rather die than surrender to enemy or power. (5) These excepti

29、onal examples are mostly heroes in extreme circumstances such as war or condition of life and death (Wen Tianxiang, Liu Hulan, John Brown etc.). They have to choose between life and death very quickly and sometimes they act from instinct. There are other factors that result in these exceptional case

30、s they all have very strong characters which have been fostered in hardship; they also have a very strong faith and are ready to die for the cause they pursue.

31、(psychological factor of self-image for the donors), there are at least two more reasons. One is religious reason most people in the West are Christians who believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ and feel a duty to help the poor (in the form of material, money, or time). The other is related to th

32、e affluence of the West where the majority of people become well-off enough to give away a fraction of their wealth or money to maintain social stability. (Therere also other reasons such as tax deduction in some countries to encourage donation.) (7) Simply put, the merit of “ group think” is that i

33、t can mobilize a uniformed collective force to realize some goal that individuals alone cannot hope to accomplish (through teamwork and national solidarity). The demerit of “group think ” is that the group leader s view might be one-sided and flawed, and the wrong decision or policy based on it coul

34、d easily lead to mistakes or even disaster. Other demerits: this situation may easily result in the circumstance of strong leader/dictator vs. obedient/populist followers; and in many cases the “truth ” is not necessary in the hands of the majority. (8) Clinical trials are experiments done in clinic

35、al research. Such prospective biomedical or behavioral research studies on human participants are designed to answer specific questions about biomedical or behavioral interventions, including new treatments and known interventions that warrant further study and comparison. Clinical trials generate d

36、ata on safety and efficacy. They are conducted only after they have received health authority/ethics committee approval in the country where approval of the therapy is sought. These authorities are responsible for vetting the risk/benefit ratio of the trial - their approval does not mean that the th

37、erapy is safe or effective, only that the trial may be conducted. Depending on product type and development stage, investigators initially enroll volunteers and/or patients into small pilot studies, and subsequently conduct progressively larger scale comparative studies. The key point here is: All p

38、articipants are volunteers who choose clinical trial when other means fail. Worldwide it is estimated that the number of vertebrate animals ranges from the tens of millions to more than 100 million used in animal experiment annually. In the EU, these species represent 93% of animals used in research

39、. If the same was true in the US then the total number of animals used in research is estimated to be between 12 and 25 million. Most animals are euthanized after being used in an experiment. Supporters of the use of animals in experiments, such as the British Royal Society, argue that virtually eve

40、ry medical achievement in the 20th century relied on the use of animals in some way. The Institute for Laboratory Animal Research of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences has argued that animal research cannot be replaced by even sophisticated computer models, which are unable to deal with the extre

41、mely complex interactions between molecules, cells, tissues, organs, organisms, and the environment. Animal rights, and some animal welfare, organizations question the need for and legitimacy of animal testing, arguing that it is cruel and poorly regulated, that medical progress is actually held bac

42、k by misleading animal models that cannot reliably predict effects in humans, that some of the tests are outdated, that the costs outweigh the benefits, or that animals have the intrinsic right not to be used or harmed 精品资料 - - - 欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - 欢迎下载 名师归纳 - - - - - - - - - -第 5 页，共 8 页 -

(3) In less than a week, the experience of imprisonment dissolved all good things that they ve learned in a lifetime, including human values and self-concepts while the ugliest and most basic sick side of human nature came into the

(4) Individual behavior is largely influenced and dominated by social forces and environmental factors instead of by personality traits, character, willpower, or other components that cannot be proved by empirical evidences. (5) Thus we created a false belief in (personal) freedom by emphas

48、izing individuals internal control (of themselves and of the environment) that actually does not exists.
