The government was so impressed that it used this as the model for the nation’s "sickness funds‚" which finance‚ deliver‚ and pay for care. Everyone

I think the Milgram and Zimbardo’s results is a good theory for the Holocaust. When the two‚ Instructor and Student‚ were in role play for every wrong answer the instructor would shock the student. At times when the instructor would say‚ “I don’t want to do this” or “I can’t do this” shows he does have a consequence‚ but he continued to still push the trigger. Although it was just an actor playing the role and no one was being shocked it is terrible to see how he continued to go on with the test

A Brief Account of the Multi-Store Model of Memory And its Strengths and Weaknesses Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) proposed that the memory system could be explained in terms of 3 specific stores.

In the Milgram Experiment‚ a number of people where chosen to take memory test. If the subject did not correctly remember the words that were given‚ they would receive an electric shock.

In this film‚ Milgram was interested in researching how far people would go in obeying an instruction if it involved harming another person. It was shown that ordinary people tend to follow orders given by an authority figure‚ even to the extreme of killing an innocent human being. But‚ being obedient to individuals‚ especially with authority is carved into a human being from the way they were raised. If the person with authority is recognized to be morally right‚ people tend to obey orders from
