One way the people in Milgram’s experiments were…

Stanley Milgram is a well-known psychologist whose revered yet controversial experiments on obedience forge a popular name for him. His experiments offer plenty to critique, and many respected psychologists tore his work apart. One author, Diana Baumrind, critiques Milgram in her article, “Review of Stanley Milgram’s Experiments on Obedience,” and explains the unethicality of his work and the assumed rights of the subjects.
