The author, Milgram, gave some background information on obedience and explain obedience can make people do positive…
memory improvement (Busscher, 2012). Forty men were selected for the job (McLeod, 2007). They were paid $4.50 an hour for their efforts. At the time, $4.50 could buy a person 14 loaves of bread or 22 beers (Obedience to Authority the Experiments by Stanley Milgram, n.d.). The subjects ages ranged anywhere between 20 to 50 years old. The level of education varied from unskilled to the professional level. He chooses these men specifically because they resembled the men who helped Hitler through…
Psycho Article Summary With over a hundred years of watching movies, audiences have come to expect a certain formula their films should follow, and when they don’t there can be some unseen outcomes. One film that is famously known for breaking this formula is Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. When Psycho first released film goers and movie critics alike were shocked and (for many cases) appalled by the twist shower scene in Hitchcock’s movie. Although it is no argument that Psycho’s shower scene, and…
Introduction In 1963, there was one of the most ethically controversial experiments ever conducted. The reasoning behind it? The actions of Nazi Soldiers during World War 2. At its helm was Stanley Milgram, a Harvard Graduate, who had the intelligence and foresight to create an experiment that would, with minimal bias, put to the test the compliance of human nature. His experiment would prove the true “nature of obedience.” (Milgram, Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View, 1974) Milgram…
Jerry M. Burger is a Psychology professor for Santa Clara University. Burger replicated Stanley Milgram’s obedience studies from the 1960’s and 1970s. In Milgram’s study, Milgram wanted to test “the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience” (Saul McLeod, 2007). He conducted this experiment by having an authority figure, a “learner”, and 40 participants who went through the experiment at different times. The participant was supposed to ask the learner a series of questions…
possibilities pertaining to the situation and conditions these solders were withstanding. Szegedy-Maszak then delves into psychologist Herbert Kelman's three necessary traits to convict torture: authorization, routinization, and dehumanization (Maszak 76). Stanley Milgram has tested such theories in his 1963 experiment on obedience, which he reported in his article The Perils of Obedience. Milgram divulges the "dilemmas" of obedience to authority in his experiment by using; an experimenter -…
both seemed to marry for love, the men they ended up marrying did not assist them or result in a mutually beneficial relationship, but instead both men shaped the lives of their wives to their own ways of living. Stella can “hardly stand it when [Stanley] is away for a night”, implying a form of sexual dependence on Stella’s part on her husband, who represents the typically masculine, if so masculine it treads into the animalistic. This dependence of Stella on the aggressive sexuality of her…

The way that Stanley Milgram went about his experiment was unethical. It put the teachers in a position to have to harm someone. The teachers could choose the voltage used in the shock chair but it had to be at least 15 volts. It is not morally right to give someone no other choice than to harm someone else. The First Study Milgram was studying how punishing someone can affect their learning. His experiment included a teacher that was a male recruit, a learner who was associated with Milgram,…
