Jerry Burger. For the experiment, Milgram recruited forty men using a newspaper ad. Each person was paid for his participation. Milgram developed an intimidating shock generator, with shock levels starting at 30 volts and increasing in 15-volt increments all the way up to 450 volts. The shock generator had labels above each level. For the experiment, the participant was paired with another person, and they drew lots to see who would be the “teacher” and who would be the “student.” The lot was…

Personality traits can be considered as a reasonably constant attribute that triggers individuals to behave in certain manners. Most personality traits naturally vary from occasion to occasion, but would maintain a core consistency which defines the individual’s “true nature”. (Matthews, Deary & Whiteman, 2003) Social influences on the other hand, is the action that was brought about through obeying authority figures such as our parents, police, teachers and politicians and by conforming to…

stable one, while tritium has a half-life of roughly twelve years, making it slightly radioactive (Unterweger et al.; Wanjek). However, tritium has a higher binding energy than deuterium making it a more efficient fuel (Watkins). The deuterium-tritium reaction has a yield of roughly 17.6 MeV whereas the deuterium-deuterium reaction only has a yield of about 3.65 MeV. Still, the DT reaction has its disadvantages. For one, in the DT reaction about 80% of the energy is stored in a high-energy…

Introduction: Obedience refers to the act of obeying commands from an individual who is perceived as an authority figure. As a form of social influence taught from early childhood, obedience plays a crucial role within society to create and maintain order and stability (Colman, 2015). Although obedience serves numerous productive functions, orders given to cause physical or mental harm can be detrimental. Throughout his rise to power, Adolf Hitler used this psychological mechanism for his own…

The Chevrolet Bolt is easy to confuse with the Volt. Both are made by the same company and both are small electric cars are eligible for the $7500 tax credit. However, the Volt is a plug in hybrid, that claims to be a full electric with a battery extender (an internal combustion (IC) engine). The other is a true full electric. As such, the Bolt is wasting no time before gunning for the Tesla Model 3’s prestige, which will be a main competitor when it is released. Chevy’s full electric auto was…

Obedience To Authority Obedience basically means compliance with an order, request, or law or submission to another's authority. Following the orders of authority blindly can have many negative effects. My Lai Massacre, Jonestown Massacre, Millgram Experiment and Nanking Massacre are some incidents that have caused negative consequences as a result of obedience to authority. My Lai Massacre took place in 1968. On the morning of March 16, 1968, soldiers of Charlie company, arrived in the hamlet…

light on the tissue boundary was absorbed and scattered. The scattered rays are detected by the photo-detector and scattered voltage of the tissue was measured. The scattered voltages vary for normal and tumor cell in the range of (0.1-4.3) volts and (4.3-5) volts respectively. This system of forward model acts as a screening test for the patients suffering from brain tumor. The parameters measured from forward…

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…

experiment with certain restrictions. Burger chose to use virtual reality as a way to replicate the situation. Using the new data from Packer, a stopping point of 150 volts was selected. Results showed that 70%, only slight lower than the original results were willing to continue to shock the subject at levels higher than 150 volts.…

the ruler are exact, which allows the person carrying out the experiment to end up with precise data. Yes, the power pack which provided volts of electricity for the electromagnet to work, provided the experimenter with trustable data, which was the volts of electricity it was giving out. This is because the power pack allowed the experimenter to control the volts of electricity the power pack was giving out, by turning an object on the power pack. Since power packs are manufactured and are…
