will be comparing and contrasting the terms conformity and obedience. I will also be answering the following questions: 1) Does research into conformity and obedience explain the horrors of war atrocities‚ such as The Holocaust‚ the Mi Lai Massacre in Vietnam or the abuse suffered by Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib prison? 2) Does research into independent behavior suggest these atrocities could be averted in future conflicts? Conformity is a form of social influence in which a current state of thinking

of Staff that the US should be removed from Korea. By 1948‚ the opposing governments were established: The Republic of Korea (South) and the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea (North).

Rock And Roll Music in the 1950’s Stark State College of Technology Rock And Roll Music in the 1950’s Many think of the 1960s as a turning point. It was an era when everything changed. Children grew up and learned the realities of war‚ and death. As Bob Dylan sang‚ the times were changing. And rock and roll would be something to accompany the changes. In some way‚ one can think of rock as a catalyst as music does turn a nation into zombies of sorts. Indeed‚ if rock were not so powerful

This piece has awesome description! Some moments that I like were; "an arched entry to a kitchen decorated in 1960s linoleum the color of Hollywood sanitariums and brushed aluminum where the 1950s chrome would have been." and "the autumn walnut and chestnut fights we had when the trees in the yard dumped loads of nuts in the sleeping grass." They both let me envision these scenes as if I were there looking at them. I also really like the comparison you made of your childhood to an antique bureau

“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” By conforming‚ it signals conceding to the dominant power which immediately gives up one’s freedom by letting them control you. This motivated the two superpowers in the Cold War as neither country wanted to concede to the dominant power. The Cold War had no large scale direct fighting and instead was political and military tension between the Western Bloc and Eastern Bloc. The Soviet Union and United States‚ opposing forces‚ pursued

Historians often come across different evidence on the same subject. However‚ this does not necessarily mean one would be considered more “correct” than the other. History is recorded through the eyes of the historian and therefore inevitably prone to human error. In the essay “The Historian and His Facts”‚ Edward Hallet Carr presents to his readers the limitations inherent in the study of history and the relationship between the historian and his or her facts. Carr makes use of historical accounts

"People don’t talk about anything...and nobody says anything different from anyone else" This quote‚ from Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury‚ demonstrates how this fictional society had no individuality‚ yet they expressed no disprovement of the conformity. To be so simple minded as this civilization was would have eventually lead to self-destruction. To support my theory‚ recall in the novel when the old lady chose to commit suicide because she did not have freedom. She felt that even though she was
