Derren Brown: Recreating The Stanley Milgram Experiment
Derren Brown recreated the Stanley Milgram Experiment. This experiment was used to see exactly how far someone is willing to go, to cause harm to someone else just because they are being told to do so. Each participant was told that the person in the other room was going to be asked a series of questions. The person in the other room was going to be required to remember the answers. If they didn’t remember the answers then the participant would shock them with up to 450 volts. The experiment’s goal was to see if the fake responses to the volts would cause the participant to stop the experiment. Only 50% stopped the experiment.

The other 50%, however, will continue doing the experiment up to 450 volts.
Personally, if I was doing the experiment, I would stop after hearing the responses to the volts. I would never want to cause pain to another individual.
Seventy-Eight Year Old Man
This old man walks into oncoming traffic and gets hit by 2 vehicles.He is flipped in the air before he hits the ground.There are at least two people who see the man get hit.They don’t call for help or even as the man if he is ok.All the bystanders do is look at the old man, until help arrives.
I don’t understand how you could just look at an individual, who was hit by a car, and not help. Whether you are in shock or not, you should at least help them! If I was ever in that situation I would immediately help that person. I don’t see how the bystanders just watched the old man, as he screamed for help in tremendous pain.
This situation should never happen; we should make our fellow civilians feel like we are here to help them.
The Bystander Effect
The bystander effect is where individuals do not offer any means of help to a victim. In this video, actors were put out on the streets in pain, drunk, and just
