Perils of Obedience Summary In Stanley Milgram’s Perils of Obedience, he explores how people react to authority, even when they are told to do something that they found immoral. He conducted multiple versions of his experiment, trying out different situations doing the same tasks. His first trial he started with his students, taking them in pairs of two. They were both given roles, the learner, and the teacher. The teacher was told that the object of the experiment was to study the effects of punishment on learning.
TMA01 DSE141 Liz O’Neill C2483011 PART 1 The table summarises findings by Stanley Milgram (1961) on obedience into how far people would go in administering electric shocks. Firstly, two sets of people, Psychiatrists and College Students, were asked to predict both the average voltage they thought participants would administer before refusing to carry on and the percentage of people who would administer the maximum voltage (435 volts). There was a slight difference in their predictions for the average voltage administered with the Psychiatrists predicting 123 volts and the College Students predicting 140 volts. Both agreed that no-one would carry on to the maximum voltage. The actual experiment was conducted in its original form and with two variations.

Improving Public Safety in the United States On Friday, December 14th, six employees and 20 children were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the small town of Newtown. This is merely one of the countless massacres that have taken place in the United States. Each time, topics about gun control were discussed. Gun control has been one of the most controversial issues in the United States. In 1994, Clinton enforced his version of gun control by banning assault rifles.
He later received comments that Yale students were too aggressive and the experiment did not have any relevance to the average person. Milgram then conducted the experiment again but this time with what was seen as the “average” person and the results showed that eighty-five percent of the individuals were obedient. Solomon Asch conducted his experiment to test a group’s influence on an individual. In this experiment, Asch placed an individual with others in a group, a set of cards would be shown, and each
