Explanation:

According to the Stanford prison experiment done by Philip Zimbardo, some participants were taken to a facility where they had to act as prisoners and guards.

The "prisoners" were humiliated and dehumanized by the "guards", even though the "guards" were reluctant at first, but as they began to maltreat the "prisoners", they became more comfortable with their acts and began to do more and more.

The experiment shows that a person's ability for evil is based on how their social environment is.
