In 1963 soon after the Holocaust, Stanley Milgram executed an experiment to document and test human behaviors. The test was to see how far and individual would go to inflict pain on another human when in the company of an authority figure. 40 subjects applied through a newspaper ad and were paired together as a teacher and student. The student however, was an actor stating he had a heart condition and was concerned the test would affect it. Before the test started he was replaced with a…

In the movie “Patch Adams” starring Robin Williams as Hunter “Patch” Adams, was such an eye opening movie to see such as “A Death of One's Own”. Patch Adams was an amazing movie and I am glad to have seen it due to its different viewpoints and uniqueness of the situation Patch Adams is in. It was also interesting because the movie is based on a true story and its hard to believe that with how crazy Patch Adams life seems. I definitely am going to rewatch this movie and show other people with it…

Stephen King’s novels The Shining and It are incredible examples of the exploitation of children in the 20th century horror-gothic genre. As American cultural historian David Skal notes, King’s novels “brim with fantasies of sacrificial children” (1993: 362). In The Shining and It, children play a significant role as victims who are being threatened by terrifying monsters. These monsters take very different forms but are nonetheless horrifying. The presence of the child in King’s novels must be…

Can someone intentionally walk away from a person in distress on the street? People assume that onlookers nearby will help the distressed person by assisting or phoning emergency services. Yet, most people will not lend a helping hand. For example, in 1964, there was a bizarre crime in New York City; a young woman named Catherine Genovese, commonly called Kitty, was murdered and thirty-eight onlookers witnessed the act and yet nobody came to her assistance or phoned the emergency services.…

The Matrix was really enjoyable to watch, this being the first time that I actually payed attention to the film. I found that during the course of the film, the color scheme, the way in which the shots were composed (both the camera angles and how they framed the subjects), as well as the mise en scène of the shots all worked to give this film a very animated/comic book-esque feeling. What was interesting to me about this was, although it felt animated in a similar way as Do the Right Thing or…

However, when an incident occurred with Stanley, that Blanche did not make up, Stella could not believe her. In scene 11, Blanche told Stanley that Mitch came by to basically apologize to her and beg for her forgiveness. This led to Stanley finally giving in and arguing with her about how she lies, uses imagination, and conceitedness. She tried to get by him, but he would not allow that,…

Perils of Obedience” written by Stanley Milgram and “Review of Stanley Milgram’s Experiments on Obedience” written by Diana Baumrind are both intriguing articles about Stanley Milgram’s experiments on obedience. Diana Baumrind believes that Stanley Milgram failed at his experiences on obedience rather than succeeded. Stanley Milgram believed that he succeeded on his experiments if an authority figure tells the test subject to do something then the test subject will. “Stanley Milgram designed an…
