1: Critics of Milgram's research have argued that the physical separation between the participant and the teacher in one room and the learner in the other made it easier for the participant to inflict the shocks. Do you think that made a difference? Why or why not?

6: Do you think if the study were repeated today we would get the same kind of results? Why?
