📱 eBook en inglés THE WAVE EXPERIMENT

"The Wave Experiment – How a high school teacher created a fascist movement in a week" recounts the terrifying social experiment conducted by history teacher Ron Jones in Palo Alto, California, in 1967. Unable to explain to his students how the German population could have followed the Nazis, he decided to show them. He created a movement called "The Third Wave," with strict discipline, a salute, and secret police.
Sociologist Robert Class chronicles how quickly the students embraced authoritarianism. Within five days, the class grew from 30 to 200 students. Members began reporting on each other for breaking rules, and dissent was silenced. Jones had to end the experiment abruptly to prevent violence, revealing to the shocked students that they had just replicated the psychological conditions of the Third Reich."The Wave Experiment" is a chilling reminder of how fragile democracy is. It demonstrates that the desire for belonging and order can turn ordinary teenagers into fascists in less than a week.
