Stanley Milgram, born a Jew, wonders how he was fortunate enough to be born and raised in the United States, however, he was still impacted by the Holocaust. He felt very passionate about the Holocaust and feels guilty that he hadn’t died in the concentration camps with his fellow Jews in Europe (Miller, 2015). Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University, sought out the reasoning behind why Nazi soldiers blindly obeyed authority, especially after the Nuremberg War Criminal trials in World War II…

Most have heard of the famous thought experiment conceived by British philosopher, Phillipa Foot; in which the question is posed whether a person would pull a lever to divert a train and kill only a single railroad worker or act in passivity and let the train run its course, killing four workers. Most people who answer this question claim that they would pull the lever, thus diverting the train. In the second part of the thought experiment, a new scenario is proposed in which the lever that…

In December 2013, the City Council of New York passed Law 1176. This law calls for 20% of newly constructed or upgraded parking spaces be capable of charging electric vehicles. This would require the necessary installation of EV charging equipment with an electric current of 3.1 kW or more. The added cost of this equipment is around $4,000, and is meant to accommodate and add a sense of security to the electric vehicle owners in New York City, knowing they have a place to refuel. Law 1176…

A phenomena of the Nazi extermination of European Jews has raised plenty of controversial dilemmas regarding a human morality. From 1933 to 1945 millions of innocent Jews were systematically slaughtered on command and shoved into gas chambers. The Germans soldiers were brought up in the most rigorous code of obedience by assisting in the most hideous and large scale murders in the history of the world. Even though, this inhuman and cruel decision has emerged in the mind of a single person, it…

Lost in Love Love is involuntary. Brain science tells us it is a drive like thirst. It is called attachment, and its part of the show in both romantic and all other kinds of love, including love within families. Babies form bonds with mother’s before they even enter the world. In making this comment, love is such a large model to only grasp one entity. One must be able to respect all living things and merge with the one true reality. Romantic love is seeing the whole part of it, the virtuous…

In Lord of the Flies, the boys act out of fear and cruelty instead of showing heroism and nobility thus displaying the weakness of the human heart when faced with extreme circumstances. All the fear the boys have is from the fact that they are alone on an island without any adults, rules, society, without anything. They are just little kids and do not know how to survive alone. Along with the loneliness, there is the speculation of a terrifying beast. This leads to Jack becoming a savage and…

to professional. The Psychologist Stanley Milgram created an electric shock generator with 30 switches. The switch was clearly marked in 15-volt increments, ranging from 15 to 450 volts. Each level was marked with a different label depends on the type of intensity that was. Starting at moderate (75 to 120 volts) to XXX for the highest levels (435 to 450 volts) This electric shock generator was actually fake and only produced sound when the switches were pressed. At the beginning of the…

Over the last 100 years, Chevrolet has been successful in developing a broad portfolio of products due mostly in part to the company’s strong brand equity (Ferrell and Hartline, 2014, p. 406). Chevrolet’s brand has proven to be an evident strength in the company’s product mix (p. 406). A vehicle’s brand provides many intangible attributes related to quality, design, utility, and self-image for buyers which lead to significant brand loyalty (p. 406). Chevrolet’s brand loyalty has been a great…

In stark contrast of the prediction of 3% delivering the highest voltage of 450 when ordered by an authority figure; a startling 65% did so (Brannigan 2013). The remaining participants all delivered 300 volts before discontinuing participation (Brannigan, 2013). Additionally Milgram’s study confirms that respecting authority is an intrinsic quality developed by our upbringing (Brannigan, 2013). In the right conditions, normal people will follow orders to…

There are several similarities between Solomon Asch, Kurt Lewin and Stanley Milgram. All of the previously stated psychologists were fascinated with group dynamics in a social setting otherwise known as social psychology. Solomon Asch looked at conformity, compliance with laws and regulations, it is also behaviors which are most nearly related to socially acceptable normalities. When we know how to act in any group, or social setting life may seem to pass more smoothly, because we conform to the…
