Groups and Negative Attitudes

Just read this essay on racism, and I’ve been thinking a lot lately on our current issues w/ Afghanistan and Israel. We need some serious distribution of classic social psychology experiments such as the Robbers Cave experiment and Stanley Milgram’s classic study.

These are great sources of information on the dangers and power of groups and authority. They may not show the most pleasant side of human nature, but maybe by pointing that out they can help.
