Synopsis Of The Film 'Miss Evers Boys'

Improved Essays
Miss Evers’ Boys was a distressing film to watch. Not only did it show the horrid mistreatment of African Americans, but also brought further attention to the types of biological testing that were prevalent in that time. While it is difficult to judge members of history with the knowledge we know now, it is appalling to think about the denial of disease treatment when a cure is known and available.

The psychological testing that took place in the Milgram experiment was interesting to me. Even though I had learned about the experiment in previous courses, I had never seen actual footage from the testing. The most disturbing moment of the video was when one “teacher” was obviously in disagreement about administering the shocks, but continued

    The video, The Deadly Deception, is a well-produced documentary on unethical behavior in government sponsored scientific research. The piece chronicles the forty year study of untreated syphilis in approximately 400 African-American men from Macon County, Alabama which began in 1932. The utilization of interviews with two survivors of the experiment, Herman Shaw and Charles Pollard, and experts in the fields of research, medicine, and civil rights, along with original film taken during the experiment, results in a believable and startling portrayal of the misuse of human subjects in scientific research. The documentary creatively infuses a play about the now infamous experiment entitled "Miss Evers' Boys" which helps the viewer to understand the lengths to which the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) went to keep…

    At the end of the study only 127 men were left alive, following the Senate investigate, survivors were given penicillin and financial compensation. When analyzing this film from an ethical standpoint, there are many points of views to be addressed and discussed in detail. It is hard to clearly judge whether Miss Evers is a moral or amoral character because there are several degrees of complexities and this also depends on our moral beliefs and values. If we look at the study overall, one could say that this is experimenting with human lives and a disrespectful act towards a person's’ rights. However, if we put ourselves in Miss Evers’ position, another side of the argument is also valid.…

    The Tuskegee syphilis experiments are perhaps the most well-known example of the unethical treatment of black individuals in medical testing. In 1932, a study was organized involving 600 black men, 399 of them had syphilis (CDC). The goal of the study was to see if no treatment was better than the treatments at the time, which were ineffective and occasionally toxic (Schwartz). The men involved were told they were being treated for “bad blood”, and while the participants were volunteers and were compensated, they were not informed of the intent of the experiment or the risks to their health (CDC). When penicillin became the standard treatment for syphilis in 1947, the drug was kept from the subjects, as researchers wanted to see the natural…

    Because the experiment takes place in a laboratory, Baumrind argues that participants will not act how they might in the real world. She states that the laboratory is an unaccustomed setting for a typical being and may cause anxiety and passivity (225). Correspondingly, Saul Mcleod, a psychologist who summarizes and critiques Milgram’s experiment, states that the “important” location of the experiment, obedience levels increased (Simply Psychology). The point about setting is one in which Baumrind and Parker are able to reach a consensus.…

    The film, Miss Evers’ Boys was about an inhumane study of African American men suffering from syphilis. The film evolved around Eunice Evers, a nurse in a local Tuskegee hospital and her statement about the “Tuskegee study”. Dr. Brodus, the head doctor of the local Tuskegee hospital along with Nurse Evers were given fund to treat men with syphilis or what they called “bad blood” (Benedetti, Fishburne, Kavanagh, Konwiser & Sargent, 1997). These men were not very educated, and their health literacy were very low, so Nurse Evers had to use words that they could understand. After a while, the fund for the treatment diminished and they were not able to continue treating these men.…

    She argues that the experiment was affecting the participant even after they were done and had been de-briefed of what the study was actually about, as well as seeing and talking to the ”learner” (the guy who they thought they were electrocuting). Baumrind was also arguing the fact the the experiment had little ecological validity as subjects are more prone to abide in such environments, she also states that participants experienced long-term, negative psychological consequences as a result of their participation in Milgram’s experiment. Milgram had counterpoints for all of her statements, explaining himself and his thought process and why it was necessary towards the experiment. Baumrind says that Milgram 's experimental situations are not sufficiently accurate models of real-life experience, his sampling techniques are seldom of a scope which would justify the meaning with which he would like to endow his result, as well as result are hard to reproduce. These combined is considered unethical, as this experiment would never have been accepted by any institutions today.…

    Milgram experiment is the experiment to figure out the effects of punishment on participant and how they respond to it. The experiment is like a game with a punish method( participants are hooked up with shock generator). The game is pretty simple, but not easy in which the participants have to indicate the first words that was previously paired with four words. The rule for this game is that once they participants answer a wrong response, they will be hurt by the shock generator. The more answer they get wrong, the higher intensity is of the shock generator.…

    Milgram’s experiments created great controversy. They showed how vulnerable humans were to the will bending power of authority. This idea especially stuck around the time the experiment took place, the early 1960’s. America was still somewhat fresh off of World War II, and Americans were shocked to see that they were just as capable of being pushed to do things that went against their morals as Germans were under Nazi authorities. Milgram was thorough in his studies by including multiple permutations of the original where he tested subjects responses to different forms of authority.…

    As I recall from the video, some of the participants did seem to have a little stress due to the aftermath of the experiment, but that’s was nothing that could’ve affected them permanently (Video). It is completely understandable that some participants could’ve been stressed after realizing the true nature of the experiment, but that’s nothing to be considered permanent psychological damage. It is also understandable that some of those participants might’ve become somewhat a little self-conscious after realizing the nature of their acts during the experiment, but that also in my opinion isn’t considered a cause of permanent psychological damage. Conclusion Although the Milgram experiment might’ve be seen as unethical for some people, it can be justified.…

    Milgram set the illusion in order to stage the revelation of “difficult-to-get-to-truths.” All the participants, whether skilled or unskilled, continued to the level of three hundred volts. Sixty-five percent of the participants, those who were the professionals or highly educated, continued to the highest level of voltage even knowing that the learner could possibly die at four hundred fifty volts. The participants were exposed to very stressful situations and caused three of the participants to have seizures, one so violent that the experiment was stopped. After the conclusion of the experiment and the participants had been told of the illusion only 1.3% of the participants stated that they wished they had not been…

    The Tuskegee Study The movie Miss Evers’ Boys came out in 1997. It uncovered “the true story of the U.S. Government 's 1932 Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, in which a group of black test subjects were allowed to die, despite a cure having been developed” (IMDb, 2016). This experimental study was conducted to see if the reaction of untreated syphilis had the same physiological effects in Caucasians as it did in African Americans.…

    Baumrind argued that after each subject walked out of the experiment Milgram 's approach to reconcile the distraught they had been through was unconvincing (92). Martyn Shuttleworth, author of Milgram Experiment Ethics, often talked how emotionally stressful this experiment was for people. Shuttleworth correlates in her article that there indeed were long term side effects of this taunting experiment (Shuttleworth). While Baumrind implied there should have been a greater amount of a debriefing process, Ian Parker agreed with how the debriefing process occurred (Parker 99).…
