Still believe in the goodness of most people?

The original video I saw on the subject:

Edit: This clip is in the 30 minute youtube link I posted after this one, apparently. Watching both might be redundant.

Can't forget the classic Standford Prison Experiment, another classic you've probably seen (but just in case you hadn't):

 Yeah I'm thinking of the Standford Prison experiment because I was thinking there was more to it than just shocking people.

 

My whole point was regarding emotions though and how maybe empy's are totally flawed by feelings when put into certain stressful or pressured situations. The same mechanism may kick in. Idk I'm having trouble explaining what I' thinking.

 Held back?

In some ways I feel as though having an abundance of emotions makes me unable to see things as clearly and balanced as someone that wouldn't feel the same amount or type. Being able to look at a situation from a nonemotional standpoint could provide a less biased view with the emotions causing selfish decisions for the good of the individual. Just because someone has empathy it doesn't mean they make the choice to empathsize with another. Guilt would follow.

 Hmmm.

I think I might have to read that a few times to understand. Are emotions the only thing tied to bias?
