Milgram's Obedience to Authority Experiment 2009 1/3

Comments on 'Milgram's Obedience to Authority Experiment 2009 1/3'

1. good job Philip.
2. You say that now but you can't really predict how you'd act
   in that actual situation if you didn't know the study, if
   that makes sense. I did it in AS psychology and said that
   but then if I were in that position I don't actually know
   what I'd do.
3. @Morticifia . He is a pianist. Creative people normally
   don't follow authorities as much as they've learned to
   survive without them and to think by themselves. Though he
   could have stopped earlier.
4. I like Philip ^^
5. This was obviously a made for television event. Almost no
   institute of higher education performs The Milgram
   Experiment now as the ethics of it are in question. The
   results are misleading and while it was an attempt by
   Stanley Milgram to explain The Holocaust it does nothing of
   sort.
6. Agreed totally, humans can turn into evils by submitting to
   authority and be a victim of circumstances and justified
   their own actions by cognitive dissonanace. This is all very
   true, and the truth might be disturbing sometimes.
7. Go Philip! We need more people like him.
8. Look at your calendar. Jigsaw was more likely modelled on
   the experiment, not the other way around. The movie "Se7en"
   contains some of the same elements - my life is screwd up,
   so I'm going ot make those people who's lives are NOT
   screwed up more grateful for what they should already be
   grateful for - and since t hey aren't grateful, I'm going to
   make them wish they would have been. We all wish we could
   "teach" other people the lessons that get forced on us. Only
   some act on that.
9. I'm not calling Sus0510 naive for not agreeing with the
   methods of the experiement; what I'm objecting to here is
   that the methods of the experiment are carried out every day
   all over the world in real life to make people do
   unthinkable things. So the experiement is a valid example of
   how - particularly in an environment where such things
   should not be so easily adopted, We can still expect people
   to follow unthinkable orders just as long as they believe
   someone else will take responsiblity
10. Well isn't that special. You are upset that I express my
    opinion as you express your opinion. Duly noted. My point
    is that this is an experiment, Millgram ostensibly said he
    conducted it because so many people had expressed disbelief
    that anyone would follow unthinkable orders like the ones
    the Germans carried out in exterminating the jews. So sure -
    get all upset at Millgram; but in the end the US military
    used the same tactics to get the soldiers at Abu Ghraib to
    carry out their stunts.
11. We did this in AS-level psychology today. NO ONE gets
    shocked guys. The person in the electric chair is IN ON THE
    ACT. TBH, if I was in that I wouldn't go past the first
    yell. I'm too soft hearted though.
12. a lot of people don't agree with the methods. It's a valid
    viewpoint, and you shouldn't be called naive for expressing
    it.
13. I'm not naive, and you don't need to call me naive for
    expressing my own opinion. I know exactly what this
    experiment is for; we've learned about it years ago in
    college. I just don't agree with the ways that the
    researchers went about conducting this experiment.
14. thanx it did really help i was learnt the same exact thing
    in college but since the summer holidays ive kinda forgot
    some of ththings i learnt in college and so i need to
    refresh my knowledg angain for university in order to pass
    my degree in psychology so it helped a lot now that i
    remember everything about this study thanyou :)))))
15. yea im sure thats what i was told tht the original
    experiment of milgram in the 60's the stooge claimed to have
    a heart condition can anyone not upload the original 60's
    one if anyone has it plz thanx!
16. did they do a version with the confederate having a heart
    condition?
17. I was just thinking about this experiment today. I'm glad I
    found it on youtube.
18. @EvanMetalReaper thanks i asked my dad he knew it :P
19. He isn't getting an electric shock, but the persons who
    "gives" him the shock thinks that he is. Makes me think
    about "reason" value...
20. Yes, thanks i understand.
21. The teacher really did not have to continue, but BECAUSE the
    labatory person said it, they were giving in to authority.
    The point of the experiment would see how many people would
    listen to authority and continue, much like Hitler and the
    Nazi's. Although scary, people doing this experiment
    "killed" the learner because they didn't stop and gave in.
    They also gave in because the teacher said, this isn't on me
    it's on you, "I'M JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS!" much like Eichmann
    said! I hope this helps!
22. A actor, and a pedestrian took part in this experiment, the
    pedestrian did not know the other person was an actor, and
    the drawing of who would be the teacher and learner was
    rigged, so that the actor would be the learner. The learner
    "was" hooked up to an electric shock machine. However, this
    machine did not shock, but it was the actors job to make it
    sound like it did to the teacher. If a teacher wanted to
    stop shocking the person, the labatory professor would say
    "I'm sorry you must continue"
23. a very scary monster, someone they believed to be the devil.
    After the trial and psychiatric evaluation, to everyones
    suprise, they found that Adolph Eichmann was mentally
    normal, just like you and me. Throughout his trial he kept
    testifying that he "did as he was told." Because of this,
    Stanley Milgram, a U.S psychologist wanted to do an
    experiment to test peoples obiedience to authority.. so he
    conducted this experiment.
24. I learned about this today, the point of the experiment is
    to test ones obedience to authority. This test came about
    after Adolf Eichmann, a German Nazi's who was in charge of
    who would be killed, and who would live. After the Holocaust
    and WWII were over, many people took it upon themselves to
    find powerful Nazi's such as Eichmann, and put them on
    trial. Eichmann was kidnapped from his home in Argentina and
    brought to Jerusalem where his trial would be. Everyone in
    Jerusalem expected to see
25. Can anybody tell me, what the test is for? And what do the
    make there? The 'Tester' .... Does the 'Tester' alwasy get
    an electric shock or how will it work?
