Psychologist Philip Zimbardo knows how easy it is for nice people to turn bad. In this talk, he shares his insights -- and graphic, unsettling, unseen photos -- from the Abu Ghraib trials, where he served as an expert witness. But he also studies the flip side of this question -- how easy it is to become a hero, and how we can help each other rise to the challenge. (Recorded February 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 23:10.)
