1.) In the first paragraph briefly summarize “The Power of Situations” by Ross and Nisbett. You do not have to directly quote the article. In fact, you should not directly quote from it. Instead, try to use this paragraph to explore the underlying ideas posed by the authors. Answer the question: From your reading of the article, does the article show that a predictor of a person’s behavior is either individual conscience, peer pressure, or situation?
2.) In your second paragraph, summarize “The Milgrim Experiment” by McLeod. Again, you do not have to quote from it, but instead, try to find the overall meaning behind the article. As you summarize, ask yourself this question: why will some people listen to authority, even when it is obviously wrong to do so?
3.) For your last paragraph before your student response, explore both articles. Do you see any traits that both articles share? Try and combine your summaries of each article into one paragraph of 5-7 paragraphs.
Be sure to respond to another student
In the first paragraph of your student response, look at the student’s last paragraph. Do you agree or disagree with their summary of both articles? The answer can be yes, no, and/or maybe. Just justify your answer fully addressing their answer. Do you think their answer is valid? Are they maybe missing something that you found in the articles? Explain.
In the second paragraph, using their paragraphs, see if you can find their interpretation of the articles and the use of authority in our modern world. Remember, examples help illustrate points, even if they are not ones from the articles. A more modern example may help synthesize the information more clearly and explain the concepts.
