Rebecca Saxe and her colleagues conducted an experiment on morals and social habits. The most important conclusions are the following:
- When people gather in large groups, there is a possibility that both good and bad things may happen. Although a group may have good intentions (on social, political, or other aspects), there is always a possibility that this group may harm those outside the group.
- Saxe states that a person individually can express a certain morality and values but, when being in a group, those could be set aside. The individual could even end up doing things that contradict what he/she personally thinks. This can be explained because in this group, the individual experiences anonymity and feels no need to take responsibility for the group’s actions.
- The hypothesis of the research argues that when an individual enters a group, they can be ignore their individual and moral beliefs, being prone to participate in activities that they might consider arguable if they were not part of it.
In story of "The Life of Christopher Columbus", by Edward Everett, the Columbus's journal would be very different if he had written it only for personal use and not for Ferdinand and Isabella.
Who was Christopher Columbus"?
Christopher Columbus, an Italian explorer and navigator who was born between 25 August and 31 October 1451 and died on May 20, 1506, completed four Spanish-based expeditions across the Atlantic Ocean under the patronage of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, paving the way for later widespread European exploration and colonization of the Americas. Known European contact with the Caribbean, Central America, and South America began with his travels.
The writings of Colombus display a business perspective on the discovery of the new continent. Colombus wanted to convince the monarchs that his exploratory journeys were useful and merited their money. He therefore wrote data demonstrating the new continent's financial success. If he had produced the papers for personal use instead of for business, they wouldn't have been as relevant to the monarchy and would have been written differently. In this instance, Colombus would provide more somber details and describe the new continent in terms of the wonders and beauties he discovered in regard to both the topography and the local populace.
