Discussion 1: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ccZpgQkTSA. Stanley Milgram’s famous experiment on obedience.
Milgram’s experiment was at times considered unethical because participants were incorrectly informed about the details of the experiment and also because it gave undue stress to those who refused to conform. Do you agree? Why or Why not?
Address all of the above questions in your post using a quote from Milgram’s writing for support.
Your post should be a minimum of 300 words.
Discussion 2: Source : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mpAbig8ttY – Milgram-related Hoax Case
In 2004, a McDonald’s restaurant in Kentucky received a phone call from a person claiming to be a police officer.
The events that followed proved the atrocities that can occur through blind obedience to an “authority.”
The links below will give you a good understanding about a real-life
Milgram incident involving employees at a McDonald’s restaurant.
This is a video from the Heroic Imagination Project (Souce :https://www.heroicimagination.org/), which was started by Philip Zimbardo (the author of The Lucifer Effect).
“About Us” description from the HIP website:
What
started initially as the controversial Stanford Prison Experiment by Dr.
Philip Zimbardo in 1971 became a collective social experiment called
the Heroic Imagination Project, a nonprofit research and education
organization dedicated to training people to act in more heroic ways.
For the past decade, HIP has been conducting trainings and workshops for
businesses and schools across the United States and many nations around
the world. Whether taking on bullying, police oversight, racism or
sexism, HIP has been committed to teaching skills for acting more
heroically everyday.
This video presents the story of the Hoax case, and includes an
introduction from Zimbardo as well as some correlations to Milgram’s
experiment. .
