Phillip Zambardo



 

            When I started viewing Zimabardo's videos, I did see a tremendous difference between both of them. At first, when I clicked play on the first one I saw the duration time and I was like, here we a good long 40 minute video. It was interesting up to the part where the study was conducted and he was reveling some of the evidence found in the study. When he played the video he recorded, it was interesting and caught my attention. Media within media. But as he started going off of his PowerPoint presentation, it got quite a bit draining in a sense.

            It kind of made me want to test that theory (the time paradox) on my kids. I see my oldest daughter as a present focus person. She wasn’t everything to happen right away. She is not patient at all, and by listening to his speech, it makes sense. I see my middle and youngest child as future focus. They are divergent thinkers. They analyze everything before making a decision. Both think outside the box and think of the future. They both know what they want and will get if they just take a minute to analyze their actions.

            When I saw the animated video, it made me more aware of what he was talking about. By looking at the drawings, I realized that I had missed that part or not completely understood what he was saying. To me the animation video made more sense and kept me intrigued. Also the video explained the study to the point and it was only 10 minutes. As Zimbardo stated, most of us are digital learners, and with that said, by me knowing that I enjoyed the animation presentation better says a lot.
