Answer 1

In sociology experiments, people often choose to hurt another person. Participants told that touching a button would electrocute a volunteer, not only chose to push the button, some chose to turn up the voltage. It's a power thing. It allows them to give in to primal animal instincts without fear of repercussion.              

Answer 2

u mean like the Stanford Prison Experiment?  dunno, not all of them went bad, but most did.  i think it was because they slowly began to see the "prisoners" as less human or evil and because they had the power to do whatever they pleased without supervision.

Answer 3

I believe it comes from the cave man days of flight or fight. We need to feel superior to our fellow man/woman.

If I am having a sour time with my boss the shop bully will act upon that sour note and stab at my heart/feelings a bit more to let me know that she/he is more superior than I.  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚™Â¥

Answer 4

Situations may often dictate human behavior.  That is where morals, ethics, and character come into play.  These are intangible traits that are cornerstones for all activity flowing from a human being.  Yet we all never know how we will react to any given situation until we are faced with it.

Answer 5

humans are just like that its just how humans are. All of us are wicked

Answer 6

The human condition is one which will seek to avoid the difficult, if at all possible.

Answer 7

Because it makes us feel good or win an argument. I won many arguments in my life when I can kick a person while they are down. I do say that I'm working on it but in the end every human has a wicked side it just depend on who and when humans show it.
