561 Words3 Pages

It’s very difficult to kill another human being, to intentionally end someone’s life with your bare hands in cold blood, and feel the shame, guilt, resentment, and rage take over and trap you in the dark place of your soul. It is difficult to inflict atrocities on other people, cause the emotional break down of another person, and simply live on without the malevolent act you’ve done haunting you for the rest of your life.

In his experiment, animals were subjected to electric shock where escape was not possible. Following this initial ‘trapped’ experience animals were given the opportunity to learn a response, which would allow them to escape the electric shocks. What Seligman found was that these animals had become so dispirited and apathetic that they did not try to escape the shock even when it was possible. Comparably, a human experiment was conducted using inescapable sound and findings were similar to the animal experimentation.
