Title:
Chapter 2: Obscura
Summary:
This chapter is about Stanley Milgram and his shock experiment. In the experiment, there is a teacher and a learner. The teacher reads a set of words, and the learner must repeat them, otherwise they receive a shock from the teacher. The experiment was actually about obedience and how people follow what they are told.
Discussion:
I think that this experiment could be seen as horrible. It was interesting, and scary that 65% of the teachers did not stop the shocks. I don't know how I would react in a similar situation, but now that I have read about this experiment, I think that I would stop sooner.
