Luke's Steps In The Milgram Experiment

Luke might have acted this way due to the way he grew up. Luke might have acted this way because his family might have not enacted strict rules on his life. This is evident because of how he spoke with his mom. In the movie, the conversation he has with his mom seemed very casual. Almost seemed like he did not have respect for his mom nor did it seem like he treasured his mom, after she visited him in jail. She was very sick as well. This shows how much Luke has a problem with authority because of the way he talks to his mom. And his learning of authority starts with where he learned authority.This is relevant to the participants in the Milgram experiment. Because there was the few people that refused to continue with the experiment despite
the experimenter saying that they must continue, “...on several occasions when the learner complains, she turns to the experimenter...and inquires,”Shall I continue?”... At the administration of 210 volts, she turns to the experimenter, remarking firmly, “Well I’m sorry, I don’t think we should continue”(pg.79). Those people had their own agenda on their minds when they kept counteracting the experimenter. These people knew what they were doing was wrong and so they had to discontinue what they were ordered to do. These people were probably felt hesitant about in doing so, but they were doing this for themselves, and for the sake of the person in the other room. But this doesn't necessarily mean they disrespect authority, it is that they are to stand up in what they believe in. Although Luke’s and the experimenter's intentions were different, they are similar at the same time because they refused to do things for authority because of what they believed in.
