THE ILLUSION MAKES PARALLEL LINES SEEM TO DIVERGE BY PLACING THEM ON A ZIGZAG STRIPED BACKGROUND
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.

One activity that I don’t like doing is public speaking. When public speaking I feel as there is no time for breaks. When writing a test u can stop for a moment and breathe, but speaking publicly doesn’t give you that option. I can’t even express myself to the best of my ability because of how much stress and pressure I get while publicity speaking
