This video, or ones like it, are used in psychology class. They really help students understand how real “learned helplessness” is and how powerful it can be on us.

My favorite psychology video like this is of Jane Elliott’s original blue/brown eyes classroom experiments. Seeing something theoretical happen so quickly, in a real world example, is so powerful for understanding.
