Answer:

It was unethical to conduct to conduct a study the way and manner Zimbardo had conducted the study. This is because there are clear violations of the students rights.

Explanation:

Students who were not prisoners in real sense was forced to be one. They were forced to the very harsh conditions prisoners has to go through; wearing of prison uniforms, there were been waked up at the middle of the night, the living conditions were exactly synonymous with prison conditions and it was not right at all to treat students in such a manner.
