    Milgram’s experiment in 1960 by social psychologist Dr. Stanely Milgram’s (1963‚ 1965) was a controversial experiment. He researched the effect of authority on obedience. I don’t think the scientific community overreacted to this experiment because it is unethical to reduce subjects to "twitching shuttering wrecks". Though the human mind is amazing strong we still do not know its breaking point. For interviewers to carry out the kind of experiment they did‚ they have to be willing to face the consequences

    watched the Milgram experiment during the first lecture. The result of the experiment was very shocking to me – over half of the subjects would keep shocking the ‘learners’ until the end just because the experimenters required them to do so‚ even though the learners cried desperately for help. I think this experiment has fully revealed the destructive side of authority‚ which can turn a mature and conscientious adult into a tool for punishment or even killing. The experiment reminds me of the painful
