Blind Obedience While sitting in church on Sunday going through the same motions of every Sunday‚ my son leans over to ask‚ "Why do we have to stand up for this prayer?" My response "because we are supposed to". Reading "The Children ’s Story" by James Clavell‚ made me think a little more about this question that I had no answer for. A person needs to be able to explain why he does what he does. Children are innocent and unknowing; they are like a blank piece of paper waiting to be filled

that is why I believe authority is a necessary element for the prosperity of a society. However‚ I have never expected that authority has such thorough effect on human that it even overwhelms people’s fundamental moral standards until I 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

an unknown island. There have been 2 movies based off of the novel one in 1963 and 1990. Both had different perspectives on the goal‚ spirit and theme of the book. In my opinion‚ I think the 1963 movie version of the book holds onto the true meaning of the story because of the time the movie was released‚ the symbolic meaning of the conch shell and the specific groups of people on the island and their personalities. The 1963 movie was released closer to the publish date of the book compared to the

Obedience is the act of practicing obeying; dutiful or submissive compliance. Humans have an instinct to obey because of the role authority plays. Milgram’s research proves my point in his case study that involved shocks of voltage. From birth‚ we learn that everything has a consequence or punishment after an action. Children learn simple philosophies in their youngest age such as obeying their parent’s requests. Something as simple as eating vegetables has a consequence. A reward gives the child

From the film “Obedience: Research carried out at Yale University”‚ Volunteers were paid a small sum to participates that understood the experiment to be a study of memory and learning. In truth‚ Yale University’s psychologist Stanley Milgram wanted to study the willingness of subjects to obey an authority figure while this authority figure made the subjects perform acts that were in conflict with their moral conscience. The question guiding this experiment was asking to figure out to what extent

Stanley Milgram’s (1963) study of behavioral obedience sought to understand the nature that drives humans to submit to destructive obedience. In his study‚ Milgram deceived his subject volunteers into believing that the experiment they were submitting themselves to involved learning about the effects of punishment on learning. Under this pretext‚ a subject “teacher” was to administer electric shocks to a confederate “learner” for every wrong answer in a word-pairing exercise. The subject was to administer
