Does Humanity Triumph over Evil?

Does humanity triumph over evil? Based on The Stanford Experiment, an experiment where twenty four undergraduates were put in a prison, taking on the roles of prisoners and guards, it clearly shows that humanity does not triumph over evil (YouTube, 2005). Normal people can show their true evil when put in stressful situations. In the documentary, the guards took the power to their heads and became mean and mentally abused the prisoners. The "good" guards also did not stop the "evil" guards from abusing the prisoners, causing the "bad" guards to reign over everyone else. 'John Wayne' was the most evil guard, getting his nickname from Cold Hand Luke's evil guard. The prisoners became weak and depressed. Prisoner 8612 even tried to convince everyone he was crazy in the head so he could leave. The prisoners didn't help out the other prisoners either. For example, when Prisoner 416 decided to go on his hunger strike, and was put in 'the hole', the other prisoners had a chance to get him out and they didn't (YouTube, 2005). In the film, the guards who were not "evil", were very cowardly. Albert Einstein said once, "The world is a dangerous place to live. Not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it" (Brainy Quotes). I believe that this means people in the world see all of this bad and we hardly do anything to fix it. That's why these guards didn't stop John Wayne and the others. They would just leave the room and let it keep happening. That shows that they were just as evil. Why do people do evil things when put in bad situations with certain roles? That is a good question that people have been asking for a long time. I would like to think that I wouldn't be like that. While talking this over to my husband, I said "I would've given up my blankets so that Prisoner 416 could've gotten out of the hole." He quickly told me that when people are in prison, they are in for themselves and themselves only. That's why
