Summary Of The Milgram Obedience Experience
The famous experiment of The Milgram Obedience Experience, tested by Stanley Milgram in 1961, demonstrate that “often it is not so much the kind of person a man is as the kind of situation in which he finds himself that determines how he will act”. (1 ) When people are faced with desperate situations and circumstances, they often respond with their worst behavior possible. This situation is demonstrated in the novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding when a group out British boys crashed onto an unknown isolated island. Ralph, the protagonist wanted to organize the boys back to a civilized society where they have come from in the beginning of the story. He stressed about the importance of shelters and a signal fire as the way of being rescued.
