Discussion Post
Watch the Stanley Milgram Obedience video below (9:54). In your discussion post, answer all the questions posed below.
o What role does authority play in the experiment?
o What would you have done if the researcher said the same things to you? Would you go all the way?
o Do you think this accurately reflects our behavior in groups and organizations? (i.e., Do we blindly follow authority figures?)
o Think of situations where this has occurred. (ex--> Abu Ghraib, Enron, Hazing Rituals, Mai Lai Massacre, etc.) Why did subordinates follow the commands of those in authority in those situations?
