Laura Topf Honors English 9 2nd hour Ms.Walters 14 March 2016 The Reason for This Madness In many situations, people do immoral things with little to no explanation. In the Milgram experiments, a subject was told to quiz another person, and shock the person if he got the answer wrong. When the subjects questioned if this was right or okay, they were told that they had no responsibility. And so in almost every case they on administering higher and higher voltage shocks.By the end of the…

Gabriel Trinity Professor Ryan Keith PSY2012.0T1: Gen Psyc 12 September 2014 In the summer of 1961, an associate professor of psychology named Stanley Milgrim began a research project at Yale University to investigate and quantify the willingness of average individuals to follow orders from an authoritative figure that were at odds with the participants expected moral values. These series of experiments, started in July of that year, came three months into the trial of Nazi…

On “The Bad Show,” an episode from Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich’s popular Radiolab, respected psychology professor Alexander Haslam provides his own take on Nazi motives in the context of the Milgram experiment. Haslam references a speech from Heinrich Himmler to other leaders of the Schutzstaffel, in which Himmler gave German officers tasked with killing thousands of innocent people the moral tools required to carry out unthinkable crimes against…

authority is wrong. From this perspective, many people see Milgram’s shock experiment and Zimbardo’s prison experiment as examples of how dangerous obeying authority is. As Milgram states the subjects in the experiment were “proud of doing a good job, obeying the experimenter under difficult circumstances” (509). Basically, Milgram realized that the subjects got satisfaction from doing what the experimenter told them and obeying authority, even if it was immoral. From the other standpoint, some…

Someone once said, “Morality is defined as doing what is right, regardless of what everybody else is doing.” In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the citizens of Maycomb can be described as followers. This often leads to disgraceful and harmful behavior towards people, including uncalled for judgment. The citizens of Maycomb are following their peers and are participating in many sinful acts, instead of being there own person and being seen as righteous. This is very evident in the way that…

In 1971 at Stanford University in northern California, one of America’s most prestigious academic institutions, a well known experiment in the history of psychology took place. This was the stanford prison experiment that was ran by Philip Zimbardo. In this experiment Zimbardo was researching what happens when you put good people in an evil place? How do we respond to authority? Also, does the institution influence a person's behavior or does a person's attitude, values, and morality influence…

First when milgram set up this experiment he was properly educated in the neccassary field, which is in compliance with first rule of the ASA code of ethics. Next, in accordince with part B of the ASA code of ethics Milgram was respectful, fair, and did not conduct himself in a way that would have put himself, or other professionals well being at risk. But I do have…

my opinion that the experiments were unethical. The experiment was about teachers administering electronic shocks to learners, pretenders, for each incorrect answer given. The teachers were the actual subject of the experiment but were not aware. Milgram may have succeeded in proving the concept of obedient to authority but his approach did not follow most of the ethics in research. The paper will be a discussion of some of the ethics that the researcher did not implement in carrying out his…

human’s values of good or bad behavior and right and wrongs. Like in Lord of the Flies, with Jack once a choir boy who turned into a crazy dictator. The Sandford Prisoner with the change in behavior with the normal people who were given power. And the Milgram experiment with people who were given the power. When put into intense situations, humans go through stages until their morality has changed to adapt to the problems that occur around them because humans want to protect themselves.…
