Maybe there is something about the human condition that leads to the behavior, I don't know.

That's Phillip Zimbardo's famous Stanford Prison study. Its a great example of assuming a position of power which eventually lead to horrible living conditions for the prisoners (participants). The guard participants were not given instruction about how to treat the prisoners, but eventually came to feel better and more powerful than the prisoners....its one of the best examples of power trips.
