A main theme that I identified in the play is stressing the importance of obedience in a marriage. It was greatly over dramatized‚ but the point remains. The theme of possessing obedience is exemplified in several places throughout the movie and script. The best examples are towards the end of the story. One example in particular is the scene in which Petruchio and Kate are returning to Padua. Petruchio points out how brightly the moon is shining‚ in the middle of daytime. Kate then corrects him

wholeheartedly trusted God and God’s plans for his life‚ a special relationship that continues in present day Judaism. Abraham’s embodiment of the virtue of obedience was practiced in word and deed‚ being an example for other believers to be a hearer and doer of the Judaism faith. As seen in this story‚ piety to God leads to obedience. His obedience was his function of his piety‚ meaning Abraham was dutiful because he was devout and .faithful.

Stanley Milgram Experiment The video I watched was a reenactment of the original Stanley Milgram experiment conducted by Derren Brown. In the experiment‚ the subjects were told that they were doing an experiment on how punishment could affect learning. They were tricked into thinking that they picked their own roles when they actually got the teacher roles and the actor got the learner role on purpose.

This experiment‚ developed and run by Stanley Milgram‚ took place at Yale University in 1961. Milgram’s experiment consisted of having volunteers from a diverse range of backgrounds and occupations individually brought into a room and sat at a table with an array of levers.

Most people‚ I think‚ would answer this question with an absolute No. However‚ Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted a series of the obedience experiments during the 1960s demonstrated surprising results.

Summary In 1965‚ Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment which mainly focused on the severity of the electric shock that a person would be willing to administer to another person based on the directions that were given by an authority figure (Milgram‚ 1965).
