Based on his work, Zimbardo speaks on what makes a person good or evil. He argues the circumstances of the moment shatter the stereotype that what makes one good or evil resides in the person, citing numerous examples of his and his colleague's work, including the Stanford Prison Experiment. To Zimbardo, evil is an act of behavior, created at the moment of execution. He holds that the false feeling of control of one's own situation makes one more susceptible to evil forces. Included, obedience has been at fault for evil far more often than rebellion. He believes, collectively, man can generate the circumstances in which evil is minimized. We need to emphasize the "what" and the "how" of crime. In both elected office and prisons, he believes secrecy is a major factor in abuse.
