Within the bully triad, there
are abundant opportunities for positive change; however, it will not happen
without an educational intervention. The bully, the victim, and the bystander
have one of the most unhealthy social connection known to man. Interdependent
until there is a forced interruption in the cycle, the bully triad will repeat
the unhealthy alliance until members step out of the dynamic to become heroes. Dr.
Zimbardo is known for his work on the psychology of evil, has recently turned
his research focus on how people can turn daily challenges into opportunities
for everyday heroism. For some, the heroism will be those who teach about the
difference between good and evil; for others, it will be the policy change
agents, some will be the protectors of values, and others will stand with the
marginalized.
