Document Summary

This experiment proved that indeed it social structures. And the way the jail instituion was so impersonal calling the prisioners by number, giving yelling orders, swearing at prisioners ( even in the mock prision) created a hostile environment where prisioners felt degraded, worthless and angry. Many experimentees had mental breakdowns, and stopped the experiment early after only 6 days. Duneier recognized the importance of social phenomena- social interaction that takes place daily. Went to the street vendors of nyc to do a study and an ethnography on the life os street vendors and the importance of the solidarity it brings for th eppl on the streets. Most ppl on the streets are there for socio-economic reasons, political reasons mostly black men without jobs. Hakim a book street vendor spoke to him about this book by jane jacobs the death and life of great american cities where he talks about public character.
