It would take 1,000 ants to make it across because 1m = 1000cm
I believe the correct answer is: to support the
article’s and Zimbardo’s argument regarding the influence of social conditions
on behavior.
In the article “What makes good people do bad
things?”, Melissa Dittmann purposely included John Watson’s 1974 and Dr.
Bandura’s 1975 experiments to support hers and professor’s Phillip Zimbardo’s
opinion that social conditions influence behavior. Their experiments illustrate
that people are more aggressive if they stay anonymous, but are on their best behavior
if they know that they will be punished (being called “animals”).
