The participants were told to type characters into the computer and not to touch the ‘SHIFT’ key as it would cause a computer crash, they were paid for their participation. Part way through the study the computer was made to crash and the experimenter accused the participant of touching the ‘SHIFT’ key and gave false incriminating evidence, that she ‘had seen it with her own eyes’. The experimenter then asked for a hand written confession stating it was their fault and would forfeit 80% of their promised fee, a negative consequence. 80% of participants signed the confession, whilst over 50% gave confabulated details (gave false evidence to fill in the gaps) and personality showed no impact on the signing of a false confession. The research showed just how easy it to elicit a false confession from someone and these are more likely to be a result of situation rather than personality.
Darren Beals article Violent Culture tells us how a young man learned to build a bomb from the internet. Who is to say that this young man wouldn’t have gone to his local library to find this information in the absence of the internet, would the library then be the blame for this young man’s zeal for violence against his parents and fellow classmates? Not likely.
There is a forum on the internet who regularly, periodically ‘cyber bully’ people. You can’t get into trouble doing something on, or over the internet unless it’s a case of national security. I remember when I was in high school I got into trouble with other students for commenting on a Facebook page about the school. I didn’t even create it, but I got into trouble. But most of the parents of the other people, who got into trouble, were infuriated and the school decided to drop everything about the page.
He was then arrested, and released on the condition, that he does not continue his investigation of the crime. Christopher ignores the caution and continues his search for the murderer.

At this early age, Gogol does not understand his Bengali heritage gives a pet name and a good name. Ashima reads the note from the teacher with Gogol’s preference of name and later talks to Ashoke about how children decide what they want in America. Ashoke validates this behavior with stating that in a place where the President is called Jimmy anything goes. As Gogol matures he also finds a dislike for his name. He is learning in school about the writer in which he was named after, Nikolai Gogol.
Heilbroner then goes on to tell us that stereotyping is like gossip which makes us pre judge people before we get a chance to even meet them. Once we stereotype a person then we tend to see them in the manner in which we pre judged them. Heilbroner goes on to tell us about another study he did in a gym class in middle school. He told the "cool" kids to mess up on the exercises. When he asked the children who messed up on the exercise, they said the children who were considered "bad" were doing it wrong instead of identifying the "cool" kids as the children who did it wrong.
They start off by stealing his bag and planting his maths teacher Mr Macallan’s wallet in it knowing he would get the blame because he couldn’t explain why it was there. They then steal their year’s report cards from the head of years office blaming it on Malarkey and they then only have to wait to see if he stays at Brook High or not, but while they await this verdict John Malarkey becomes more a threat to ‘the tailors’ than they are to him. The first Characteristic we hear of Malarkey in the book is that he is quite aggressive my evidence of this is “Come here I snarled as I grabbed his arm, hauling him into the empty classroom” This makes me think he is aggressive because he sounds as if he cant hold his anger so becomes aggressive towards Simon Penn. Also the fact that he hauled him into the empty classroom where hauled tells me that Malarkey physically threw Simon into the empty classroom. Another characteristic that builds the character of Malarkey is he is adamant “I might get to hear a few secrets if people believed I was a Tailor” This makes me feel he is adamant because it tells us he is eager to find out more about who he is dealing with (the Tailors).So he resorts to taking a member of the gangs black Adidas trainers because he knows that the trainers are like a trait or a symbol of the

This is expressed by going to platform 9 and ¾’s, the portal to get you between the two worlds. Lastly, the “reality-fantasy-reality” structure, which happens where Harry starts off in the normal world, then heads off to school at Hogwarts, and goes back home after the school year. A similarity between the two worlds, in Harry’s case, he has enemies in both places that are always trying to put him down. “Don’t be silly, Vernon, she hates the boy” (22), Uncle Vernon talking about Harry as he
