Dehumanisation
- Still from German movie "Das Experiment"
I think that the problem is the lack of dehumanisation. As far as I can tell, the guards are not granted the right to take actions that would strip an individual of their humanity, and thus by treating them as equals, they are letting the prisoners gain the upper hand. They have no threat. As a result, any action they take to try to gain control is easily circumvented, and their frustration and lack of organisation grows.
