can be seen as a minor act of tyranny on it’s own.

The findings were the following: the brown-eyed students acting depressed and rejected‚ while the blue-eyed ones acted powerful‚ proud‚ and arrogant.

In 1971 Zimbardo conducted the "Stanford prison experiment" in which students enacted the roles of prison guards and prisoners - the results so traumatised Zimbardo that supposedly he never gave the experiment the complete write-up he intended to.

1. Should social scientists be permitted to conduct replications of Milgram’s obedience experiments? Zimbardo’s prison simulation? Can you justify such research as permissible within the current ASA ethical standards? If not‚ do you believe that these standards should be altered so as to permit Milgram-type research? Social scientists should not be allowed to undertake replications of Milgram’s obedience experiment and Zimbardo’s prison simulation at face value just as other instances in the same
