How can you avoid being evil?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>The Lucifer Effect<\/em>, psychologist Philip Zimbardo says that certain circumstances and institutions contribute to human evil. He argues that anybody could commit the worst evil imaginable if they found themselves in the wrong situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn how to become a good person with Zimbardo&#8217;s helpful tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-become-a-good-person\"><strong>How to Become a Good Person<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zimbardo notes that not only does everyone have the potential to do something unspeakably evil, everyone has the potential to do something remarkably noble, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Some point out a contradiction in Zimbardo\u2019s argument here: If circumstances are largely responsible for whether or not you do something evil, they should also be responsible for whether or not you do something heroic. By this logic, whether or not you behave heroically is out of your control, and these \u201ctips\u201d won\u2019t help.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these three tips to know how to become a good person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-1-overcompensate-when-tightening-your-morals\"><strong>Tip #1: Overcompensate When Tightening Your Morals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zimbardo explains that most people have a self-serving bias\u2014we understand how circumstances impact human behavior, but we assume that we\u2019re too clever and self-aware to make the same mistakes. Overconfidence leaves us vulnerable to circumstantial influence\u2014instead, <strong>tighten your morals more than you feel is necessary to prevent yourself from unwittingly doing evil.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way Zimbardo suggests doing this is by taking full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/you-are-responsible-for-your-own-actions\/\">responsibility for your actions<\/a>. Never blame someone else for making you do something\u2014for example, if a friend were to convince you to help them rob a convenience store, or if your boss told you to hide the evidence of their embezzlement, you should view these misdeeds as if you did them alone. This habit will help you think twice before social pressures influence you to become complicit in someone else\u2019s evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-2-be-critical-of-your-group\"><strong>Tip #2: Be Critical of Your Group<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zimbardo advises that to become a good person, you need to turn a critical eye to whatever groups you belong to. You should always be ready to take a firm moral stance against them. Recall that social pressures are one of the main circumstantial factors that can corrupt your sense of morality. There\u2019s no need to deny your need to be liked and accepted, but you won\u2019t be happy if you sacrifice your moral values to avoid being rejected. Instead, <strong>seek acceptance from groups that share your morals and accept rejection from those who don\u2019t.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re biased to disrespect and even dehumanize people outside of our groups, writes Zimbardo. Try to celebrate your group\u2019s good qualities without disparaging the different qualities of other groups. If you can, look past groups entirely\u2014instead of defining yourself and others by the groups they belong to, work to see everyone as a unique individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-3-oppose-unjust-institutions\"><strong>Tip #3: Oppose Unjust Institutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last step to becoming a good person is to oppose unjust institutions. To overcome our bias to obey authority, Zimbardo suggests <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-be-skeptical\/\">being skeptical<\/a> of all institutions in power. Obey authorities when they act in alignment with your values, but resist any authority that tries to coerce you into doing something immoral, no matter how large or powerful they are. When we encounter immoral groups and institutions, we often assume that we\u2019re powerless to change them. However, all it takes is one person to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-create-a-movement\/\">start a movement<\/a>, attract followers, and enact positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Zimbardo, it\u2019s vital to resist authority this way because <strong>doing nothing to avert evil is evil in itself<\/strong>. Scandals of abuse, unjust wars, and even genocides happen with the support of countless silent observers. Many people make half-hearted attempts to resist evil with empty words that accomplish nothing. Zimbardo makes it clear that such words don\u2019t matter\u2014only actions that push back against evil are truly virtuous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to know how to become a good person?
