There are no outside sources for this essay. Using outside sources will result in loss of points. Remember, this essay is over explanatory synthesis of the required materials.
Stay away from using first person pronouns (I, my). Stay away from second person pronouns (you) too. Instead, you will want to express your essay without saying phrases like:
“In my opinion”
“I think”
“I feel”
“When thinking about this topic, I”
Question #1:
Use information from “The Milgram Experiment” (252-258) in an explanatory synthesis.
The Milgram experiment has been conducted many times, and researchers have come to certain conclusions about why “ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process.” Using this statement as a principle, discuss what came from these studies and suggest examples in our world today, close at home or far away, that suggest these conclusions are valid.
1.) Use explanatory synthesis to fully explain the Milgram Experiment. Remember, don’t bring in your own opinion, yet.
2.) After explaining the Milgram Experiment, discuss where this type of behavior may be found in our real world. This is an opportunity to compare the Milgram Experiment to something outside of the text. You may use any example as long as it is relevant to the same ideas presented in the Milgram Experiment.
Use at least 3 citations and include a Works Cited page that you should format following the model in your handbook on page 184, #29, “one selection from an anthology or collection”. You will have only one Works Cited entry. Essay should be at least 500 words.
Question #2:
Ross and Nisbett suggest that the “situational variable” may be the key predictor in how the person will behave in a given scenario. In a well-developed argument that draws on “The Power of Situations,” agree or disagree with Ross and Nisbett as you make the case that the key predictor of people’s behavior is either individual conscience, peer pressure, or situation.
