Science of Evil HDTV English | Avi | Xvid | 720x480 | 24fps | Mp3 96kbps 44100hz | 356Mb Genre - Documentary We know it when we see it - or do we? What is evil? Is it a spiritual force that mortals can confront, but only God can understand? A political reality, as ever-present as war, poverty and hunger, that we may work to alleviate, but never fully extinguish? Or a meaningless superstition that science can snuff out by explaining the physical machinery of our brains? It depends on whom you ask. The Science of Evil travels into the trenches where three front-line practitioners confront evil daily with very different sets of tools. A Bible - we encounter the soul of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer through the eyes of Roy Ratcliff, the priest who baptised him behind the bars of a Wisconsin maximumsecurity prison. Ratcliff's belief in God compelled him to see Dahmer as a man with a soul worth saving despite his heinous deeds - but it was the most serious challenge to his faith he ever experienced. In a cramped concrete room with a stainless steel bathtub, inmate after inmate is plunged under the baptismal waters. But is it really making a difference? A military convoy - we travel to the region of the world Joseph Conrad infamously dubbed the "heart of darkness", The eastern edge of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There, rebel paramilitary groups continually clash with government soldiers, with innocent civilians caught in the crossfire as a United Nations peacekeeping force tries in vain to stanch the bloodshed. Aya Schneerson, a young UN aid worker charged with administering food and medical help to fleeing refugees and sacked villages, confronts the barbarism bred by poverty and greed the only way she knows how - by trying to keep starving people fed. But most days she cannot even travel without a heavily armed military escort; and when she makes a successful food drop to a village, she can't control what may happen after she and her convoy leave. Will guns and good intentions ever be enough to stop Congo's cycle of violence? A brain scan - we peer inside the machinery of the human mind with Harvard and Princeton neuroscientists on a mission to put the human conscience - and inhumane behaviour - under the microscope. If our conscience is what separates us from animals, what is it and how did it evolve - and why does it fail to prevent normal, healthy people from committing terrible acts in certain circumstances? Patients contemplate thorny moral dilemmas while their brains are scanned via cuttingedge fMRI imaging techniques. Can doctors catch the conscience in action. Do our brains contain a "moral fuse box", the ability to justify so-called evil acts? Different tools, different perspectives - but they all point to the same conclusion - that the potential for cruelty runs through all of us, just waiting for the right set of situational circumstances to bring it to life. Philip Zimbardo, whose 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment became a textbook case study in the psychology of so-called evil, gives us exclusive access to his library of images from the Stanford Prison Experiment and Provides another authoritative voice in this look - both figurative and literal - at The Science of Evil.
