Research Paper On Milgram Experiment

Milgram experiment tells us about human and obedience. Humans are socially adapted to the society they live in and obedience is when a group humans follows the rule no matter wrong or right. Humans are usually obedient in most situations. That is due to teachings they receive. For example, when Hitler was killing groups of people, it was wrong; but the group of authority just listen to him and followed the rules. This situation was wrong and harmful but it was something that they just followed because it was the law of the society. Also, punishment tells humans they can do better in society. Punishment is a tool used to make the person or group obey to the rights of the society. Humans have a tendency to follow demands that are no right. For
example, during Milgram experiment there was a teacher and a learner. The teacher implemented the electricity effect on the learner. The teacher kept on going with the experiment even though it was wrong. This is where humans have to obey by the experiment or law of the society. Obedience is when a person follows the experiment no matter wrong or right. The learner and teacher were obedient regardless of the experiment being harmful to watch and participate in. “ But when the experiment performer calmly replied that the experiment must go on, this assurance from an “authority” was enough for most “teachers” to continue, even though the “learner” screamed in agony” (Henslin, 2015, pg.153). Humans obey the authority when it is good or bad because the authority figure has more control on the teacher and learner. People feel the peer pressure in experiments or they feel like if they didn’t do it, what the authority figure is going to do to them.
