The current ethical principle have been heavily influenced by very unethical experiments in the past, such as Milgram’s Conformity and Obedience Experiment and Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment. The current ethical guidelines are informed consent, voluntary participation, confidentiality, anonymity, right to withdraw, do no harm and debriefing (APS, n.d.).

The primary purpose of the Milgram's obedience/electroshock experiment was to test people's obedience to authority. I feel the test was able to fulfill its objectives. It was successful because it should that the majority of people tested were willing to fully accept, with some reservations, what a authority figure instructed them to do. In The Real World by Ferris and Stein (2008), we are told that to conducted the experiment a system was set were a research subject was assigned being a…

deceiving, and makes sexual comments to the men around her, and it eventually lead to her rape. Right before her rape, Blanche was talking about a fake man that she knew, and Stanley quickly figured out what was going on. Before she knew how to react she had began trying to get in touch with the man, but she was not having any luck. Stanley, Stella’s husband, was very drunk, and started yelling at Blanche. This then led to her rape, and her placement into the mental…

The play A Streetcar Named Desire explores brutality vs. tenderness displayed through the personalities of Stanley Kowalski and Blanche DuBois. Marlon Brando's charismatic portrayal of Stanley Kowalski in Elia Kazan's film version of A Streetcar Named Desire undermines the validity of Blanche's struggle. The contrast between Vivien Leigh's Blanche and Brando's Stanley emphasizes the most negative aspects of Blanche's character while supporting and validating the most positive of Stanley's,…

In “The Dilemma of Obedience” from his book Obedience to Authority, Stanley Milgram claims that people choose to become obedient to authority even if their actions are not constant with their own moral or significance. He begins by describing the importance of obedience and how it is so powerful that it can overthrow a person’s demeanor and their values on life. In order to understand the effects of authority on others, such as the ones on the Jews in Nazi Germany, Milgram constructs an…

Because of her tough life, Blanche lives her most of her days in fantasy. Stanley is the complete opposite. He is a hardworking man who wants to hear nothing but the truth. He is a…

Nuisance come in a variety of forms such as hangnails or barking dogs, and for Blanche DuBois, the nuisance is her brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski— a man who embodies the misogyny of the 1940s in the United States. A Streetcar named Desire by Tennessee Williams explores the ironic struggles of a perfidious woman as she battles to save her sister from a toxic, misogynistic-riddled marriage. Towards the beginning of a humid summer, Blanche makes a trip to Elysian Fields to visit her sister,…

tragic loss of her young husband by in scene two, when Stanley goes through Blanche’s suitcase looking for the bill of sale for the estate of Bell Reve, because he thinks Blanche sold the property, keeping all the money for herself, and swindling her sister out of the money. Stanley scatters Blanche’s evening wear, and holds out a fox-fur piece, asking Stella “You think she got them out of teachers pay?” (A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene Two) Stanley doesn’t find the bill of sale, but he finds…

“Human nature is complex. Even if we do have inclinations toward violence, we also have inclination to empathy, to cooperation, to self-control.” -Steven Pinker Pinker, a psychologist who wrote How the Mind Works, a study on the human brain, believes that human nature is made up of many different layers that reveal themselves at certain times and situations. On the other hand, William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, believes that the core of human nature is evil and is subdued by societal…

recreations of these wars into films should give a much wider audience of different generations the privilege to learn about the pain and struggles that people went through. Based on the opening sequence of Full Metal Jacket (1987), I feel that the message Stanley Kubrick successfully attempts to display to the audience is that war affects people greatly and should be understood so that it will be taken seriously. In addition, I believe that Kubrick wishes to change the way people look at war in…
