The nature of evil and the making of heroes: Phil Zimbardo at TEDxMidwest

Renown psychologist Phil Zimbardo asks whether the line between good and evil is fixed and impermeable or whether it is permeable; flowing across boundary in both directions. In doing so, he investigates three kinds of evil and how one's heroic disposition can combat them.In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
