Some students get so worked up about the test they can’t even get through it (par.3). Even though the article “Standardized Tests” states that “testing is a normal and expected way of assessing what students have learned and the vast majority of students do not exhibit stress and have positive attitudes towards taking a standardized test like the FCAT,” (par.10). J. Lang Wood, author of many short stories and author of“Negative Effects of the FCAT” begs to differ. According to Lang Wood she claims students are exposed to a “climate of continuous stress” (par. 2).
Throughout the experiment, the teacher can be seen looking back towards the instructor for permission on whether to continue or stop .The teacher instructed the learner to continue even when the learner cried out in pain and begged for the experiment to stop. Sixty-five percent of the time, the teacher continued until he administered the highest shock. This experiment proves that when under the right circumstances society will obey authority. Baumrind thinks of Milgram’s experiment as more of a ‘game’ than an actual scientific experiment (Baumrind 225). She claims that Milgram left no alternative ‘out’ for the subject (226).
Most of the subjects discovered they were more likey to obey authority figures than they might have expected and most went through a type of self-discovery. Even though they found something new about themselves, Baumrind suspects that not all of the subjects wanted this self-discovery because they all probably felt guilty after they found out they would obey an authority figure to the point of harming another person. According to Baumrind, the setting is another reason Milgram’s experiment was flawed. She says that because the experiment was done in a laboratory, the subjects were more prone to obey the experimenter than if they would have been elsewhere (Baumrind 330). Baumrind was also concerned with the subjects and how they were after the experiment.
U5A3 SP3450 - Social Psychology Unit 5 Assignment 3: The Milgram Experiment 01/22/14 Milgram Experiment A psychologist from Yale University named Stanley Milgram conducted the Milgram obedience experiment. He wanted to see the participant’s willingness to obey an authority figure while testing their moral conscience. In the experiment they were told that they would be either a “teacher” or a “learner” and would be randomly be assigned to either role. However unbeknownst to them all the slips said teacher and people aware of the study acted like they got the learner slip. The teacher was given a list of words that he read to the learner.
The teacher was told that the object of the experiment was to study the effects of punishment on learning. They are also told that their role in the experiment was to read word lists to the learner and the learner must remember the second word from a list of word pairs they had read earlier. If the learner got the answer wrong, then the teacher was told to administer shocks, for each answer that the learner got wrong, and the shocks had to increase in intensity. The teacher is unaware of the fact that the learner is actually an actor, and receives no shock. The experiments, involving the Undergrad students from Yale, resulted in 60
Parents use discipline to teach their children the difference between right and wrong. The type of discipline parents use is entirely up to them but, "ninety percent of parents say that they have used [spanking] as a mean of discipline on their child, and most parents say that it was used on them when they were youngsters" (James). Spanking is a form of discipline that has been used by many parents; but it is now becoming the method that is being frowned upon by most doctors and many parents. "The American Academy of Pediatricians say that spanking might actually do more harm than good"(Eisenhauer), meaning that the spanking will not correct the problems that the child has, but only make them worse. In some countries around the globe, such as Norway and Sweden, elected officials have made it totally illegal for parents to spank their child.
Over 60% of students had cheated in the past month, which is fairly recent, and a staggering 83% had cheated in the past quarter. This showed us that cheating is an on going problem that almost certainly happens daily in Perry Hall High. To sum up our survey we asked students to tell us how big of a problem they though cheating was in our school on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 being the most serious. 41% responded a 3 with the rest of the figure split evenly between 1,2,4, and 5. We concluded from this that students don’t really care about the subject or are indifferent about it.
Whenever the pupil answered incorrectly, the teacher was instructed to throw one of the switches, starting at the lowest voltage and progressing to the higher voltages. The pupil, of course, was not actually receiving shocks, but he would act out preplanned mistakes and feign pain upon receiving the "shocks." About midway through the series of switches, the "pupil" would complain loudly that he wanted to stop, kick the wall, and scream. At the highest levels of shock the pupil would remain silent. All the while, the experimenter, wearing a white lab coat and carrying a clipboard, would instruct the teacher to continue with the "learning experiment."
* Stirring * Temperature * Time * Amount/Type of solute * Amount/Type of solventAsk ch to put hands up and to call out ideas of factors which may influence dissolving and write them on the board. Tell ch that today we are going to focus on TEMPERATURE.Teacher will guide Ch to discuss in talk partners WHY and HOW they think TEMPERATURE may affect sugar from dissolving and then to feed ideas back to teacher and rest of ch.Ch to make predictions about what will happen to the sugars rate of dissolving in each temperature | The teacher will introduce the lesson by discussing with the ch about what they already know about dissolving. * What do the children already know * Any misconceptions * Any new ideas to be discussed * Teacher to make sure that temperature is discussed to obtain any misconceptions about temperature. The teacher will provide ch with post it notes to write down factors which they think may affect dissolving of sugar – make sure temperature is included. Teacher to write these ideas on the board.
Melissa Hughes W131 22320 Comparative Analysis Rough Draft Obedience to Authority Obedience is the state, fact, or instance of obeying, or a willingness to obey; submission. Most people do not think about obedience as much more than doing what they are told; they do not try to see what the outcome of their actions; they unconsciously comply. Blind obedience to authority can be defined as what people do when they think laws should be obeyed just because the law exists. Such unconscious failure to think about their actions “because we have always done it this way”; “because my boss said so”; “because it’s the law”; “because I was only following orders”; leads them to commit morally corrupt acts. They commit these acts believing that they are doing nothing wrong because they are following the law.
