Rhetorical Question Post
I don’t have this question eloquently phrased yet. But it’s something along the lines of: “What happens to people when they are given power?” in my paper I want to support with examples from the text Bury The Chains as well as the Stanford Prison Experiment. This experiment was one in which college students were randomly selected to fulfill the role of either prisoner or guard. It was frightening how immersed they got into their roles, even though they were all the same age and social class. I want to find other examples like this where power is given to someone and it turns wrong.

I like the angle u intend to take on with this rhetorical essay. I have been harmed by others power-trips in many ways. When i was younger, i went to sleep away camp and we had a cheer "Scott's on a power-trip." Scott was our counselor and he would constantly show his power. Examples are also found in police officers, security guards and SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS.
