THE MILIGRAM EXPERIMENT- THE MONSTER INSIDE US
https://steemitimages.com/DQmNRqFKojBM7DLCF3esCX27tsE9dEQv9Uk8c3vG8mpQdmP/image001.png
<p><strong>&nbsp;The Stanley Milgram Experiment was created to explain some of the concentration &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;camp-horrors of the World War 2, where Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, Slavs and other enemies of the state were slaughtered by Nazis.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><em><strong>Preparation of the Stanley Milgram Experiment</strong></em></p>
<p>The psychologist Stanley Milgram created an electric ‘shock generator’ with 30 switches. The switch was marked clearly in 15 volt increments, ranging from 15 to 450 volts.He also placed labels indicating the shock level, such as ‘Moderate’ (75-120 Volts) and ‘Strong’ (135-180 Volts). The switches 375-420 Volts were marked ‘Danger: Severe Shock’ and the two highest levels 435-450, was marked ‘XXX’.The ‘shock generator’ was in fact phony and would only produce sound when the switches were pressed.40 subjects (males) were recruited via mail and a newspaper ad. They thought they were going to participate in an experiment about ‘memory and learning’.In the test, each subject was informed clearly that their payment was for showing up, and they could keep the payment “no matter what happens after they arrive[d]”.Next, the subject met an ‘experimenter’, the person leading the experiment, and another person told to be another subject. The other subject was in fact a confederate acting as a subject. He was a 47 year old male accountant.The two subjects (the real subject and the con-subject) drew slips of paper to indicate who was going to be a ‘teacher’ and who was going to be a ‘learner’. The lottery was in fact a set-up, and the real subject would always get the role of ‘the teacher’.The teacher saw that the learner was strapped to a chair and electrodes were attached. The subject was then seated in another room in front of the shock generator, unable to see the learner.<br>
</p>
<h2><em><strong>Research Question</strong></em></h2>
<p>The Stanley Milgram Experiment aimed at getting an answer to the question:“For how long will someone continue to give shocks to another person if they are told to do so, even if they thought they could be seriously hurt?” (the dependent variable)Remember that they had met the other person, a likable stranger, and that they thought that it could very well be them who were in the learner-position receiving shocks.</p>
<h2><em><strong>The Experiment</strong></em></h2>
<p>The subject was instructed to teach word-pairs to the learner. When the learner made a mistake, the subject was instructed to punish the learner by giving him a shock, 15 volts higher for each mistake.The learner never received the shocks, but pre-taped audio was triggered when a shock-switch was pressed.If the experimenter, seated in the same room, was contacted, the experimenter would answer with predefined ‘prods’ (“Please continue”, “Please go on”, “The experiment requires that you go on”, “It is absolutely essential that you continue”, “You have no other choice, you must go on”), starting with the mild prods, and making it more authoritarian for each time the subject contacted the experimenter.If the subject asked who was responsible if anything would happen to the learner, the experimenter answered “I am responsible”. This gave the subject a relief and many continued.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Results</strong></em></h3>
<p>During the Stanley Milgram Experiment, many subjects showed signs of tension. 3 subjects had “full-blown, uncontrollable seizures”.Although most subjects were uncomfortable doing it, all 40 subjects obeyed up to 300 volts.25 of the 40 subjects continued to complete to give shocks until the maximum level of 450 volts was reached.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So what is the conclusion of this experiment are really all people sadistic or we have learn to obey and we cant see what is correct ? Or the person make his work by geting orders doing some staff we think its imposible we were doing it like the police oficer hits the protestor its not a sadistic person but propably if we were at his or her position we would do the same because we loose our morality when we can easily acuse the person who gave the order and we dont blame our selfves 
As final result the most people took part at the experiment were feelling for what the done even when they told that was a lie and nobody hurted but the point is under the presure of the orders and the Obedience to Authority they went far away than it was expected.
