WARM UP
WednesdayApril 8th, 2009 (4/8/2009)
In the 1960’s, social psychologist Stanley Milgram started performing experiments to figure out why millions of Germans thought it was perfectly okay to slaughter millions of Jews during World War II.
1. Were they just listening to their superiors?
2. Were the German people brainwashed?
The Milgram Experiment
NO NOTES
The answer is YES.
Were they listening to their superiors?
NO NOTES
The answer is YES. The question that remains is…how far
would someone go to please an authority figure?
Were they listening to their superiors?
NO NOTES
In his experiment, Milgram set up:
1 room with an authority figure (AF) and a tester (T1)
1 room with another tester (T2)
The Milgram Experiment
TAKE
NOTES
The Milgram Experiment
NO NOTES
The authority figure (AF) would ask a question to the second tester (T2). If the second tester (T2) got it right, nothing
happened. If the second tester (T2) got it wrong, the
authority figure (AF) ordered the first tester (T1) to give the second tester (T2) a shock.
The Milgram Experiment
TAKE
NOTES
Every wrong question resulting in a higher-level shock.
The last level shock (450 volts) was enough to kill the second tester (T2).
The Milgram Experiment
TAKE
NOTES
You should know that both the Authority figure (AF) and the second tester (T2) are “in” on the experiment.
Meaning, there are NO painful shocks actually being delivered.
Only the first tester (T1) thinks he is delivering painful shocks to the second tester (T2) each time he gets and answer wrong.
The Milgram Experiment
NO NOTES
If the tester (T1) wanted to quit giving shocks to the other tester (T2), the Authority figure (AF) would say: “Please continue.” “The experiment requires that you continue.” “You have no other choice, you must go on.”
The Milgram Experiment
NO NOTES
If there were 40 people in the experiment, how many do you think delivered the “fatal” shock?
The Milgram Experiment
NO NOTES
If there were 40 people in the experiment, how many do you think delivered the “fatal” shock?
The Milgram Experiment
NO NOTES
If there were 40 people in the experiment, how many do you think delivered the “fatal” shock?
65% (26/40)
The Milgram Experiment
NO NOTES
If there were 40 people in the experiment, how many do you think delivered the “fatal” shock?
65% (26/40) Most were uncomfortable delivering the
last shock; every one questioned the Authority figure (AF) at some point during the experiment, but the tester (T1) kept delivering shocks.
The Milgram Experiment
NO NOTES
We are obedient to authority figures.

That story that we will start reading next week is called, “Night.”
It tells the story of a boy named Elie—from before the Germans take everyone to his time in the concentration camp.
It is a work of NON-FICTION, meaning the story is true.
