Stanley Milgram believed that obedience was central to the structure of everyday social life. Living in a society requires some system of authority and obedience‚ otherwise there would be chaos. Obedience under some circumstances is useful and helpful to everyone – e.g. when a motorist hears an ambulance driving behind them with

The children in the hospital call it a prison because the first thing they noticed were the cameras and the cells; “‘ We have armed guards‚ security cameras‚ electronic perimeters and multiple lethal safeguards that I’m not at the liberty to discuss”’(80). The prison symbolizes a new beginning for the world. It is the New Order’s way of getting rid of their problems. The hospital

authority levels of obedience raise. The lowest average voltage during the experimental conditions was when two experimenters gave conflicting instructions (75 Volts) with the lowest percentage administering the maximum voltage again being in the same experiment (0). In the predictions psychiatrists recorded the lowest average level (123). Both predictions predicted the lowest percentage administering the maximum voltage (0). This implies receiving conflicting instructions does not indicate compliance

Duckweed also is known to stop the growth of algae‚ but in our experiment we ended up having algae grow in some of the wells filled with creek water. We feel as though the creek water might have had some chemicals in it through runoff that would be harmful to duckweed but beneficial to the algae growing in those wells

Research Problem: We will be measuring alcoholic fermentation by counting the carbon dioxide bubbles that are being created per minute after forty minutes of our experiment. Hypothesis: I believe that after 10 minutes of experimenting we will have multiple bubbles produced. Procedure Method: When we experimented we set out all of our materials. Our materials were a fermentation bottle‚ one rubber stopper‚ one bubbler

When those people saw wrong answers‚ they were supposed to hit a button to inflict an electric buzz. When the study examined when someone was put closer to the person‚ they were more likely to exit the experiment. If they were place further away with less conflict of

Week 7 Tutorial: The Problem of Agency (Assessed) 1. What do you understand by the term ‘Agency Problem’ and what role does asymmetric information play in producing this problem? A conflict arising when people (the agents) entrusted to look after the interests of others (the principals) use the authority or power for their own benefit instead. 2.

We are obedient to these people. There is a psychological experiment that deals with the issue of obedience‚ by Staley Milgram. We are clearly able to say that what is wrong as an individual; however‚ when we get together as a group‚ we are no longer able to say that wrong is wrong under the pressure of an authority

combination of Step 1 and Step 2 to create a situation where this begins. This has been proven possible to happen by an experiment of Stanley Milgram’s when he got volunteers to believe they were electrocuting someone else. No electrocution happened and was simulated but was to see if the volunteer would do it. And 2/3 of 900 American volunteers (who knew nothing of the nature of the experiment) went up to 450 volts which was the maximum. Step 4: "Stand up" or "Stand by" This is the most crucial part
