Good People is a protest song written and performed by Jack Johnson. It is the fourth track on the album In Between Dreams and was released as a single in June 2005. Though the song has a positive and relaxing sound it is critical of contemporary television, especially with regard to frequent violence, and its effect on society. The song is similar to Cookie Jar from Johnson's previous album On and On, which also draws attention to the issue, but with a more explicit protest and melancholic sound.

In real life, however, no chemical may be needed: Instead, just the right dose of certain social situations can transform ordinarily good people into evildoers, as was the case with Iraqi prisoner abusers at Abu Ghraib, argued former APA president Philip G. Zimbardo, PhD, in a presidential-track program during APA's 2004 Annual Convention in Honolulu.
People's aggression can also increase when they feel anonymous--for example if they wear a uniform, hood or mask, Zimbardo said.
"We're the good ones in the barrel." But people can be influenced, regardless of their intention to resist, he said.
