I recommend Zimbardo's 2008 TED talk: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/philip_zimbardo_on_the_psychology_of_ evil.html
He covers the Stanford Prison Study and Milgram's obedience studies while tying them to current events. Since it's only 23 minutes, it might be interesting to pair it with Daniel Goleman's TED talk (13 minutes) on compassion: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/daniel_goleman_on_compassion.html <http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/daniel_goleman_on_compassion.html> Or Martin Seligman's TED talk (23 minutes) on positive psychology: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/martin_seligman_on_the_state_of_psych ology.html <http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/martin_seligman_on_the_state_of_psyc hology.html> .
