Is Milgram's Experiment Ethical Or Unethical?

Like Psychologist Diana Baumrind did so in her article “Review of Stanley Milgram’s Experiments”. Where she makes it very clear that she disagrees with causing individuals stress and discomfort. In her article, Baumrind states “It is potentially harmful to a subject to commit, on the course of an experiment, acts which he himself considers unworthy, particularly when he has been entrapped into committing such acts by an individual he has reason to trust” which in this case the trustworthy individual would be Stanley Milgram. Baumrind also worried about the dangers of the serious aftereffects that may ensure because of the stress and discomfort Stanley Milgram’s experiment has caused. Even though Stanley Milgram states that “After the interview, procedures were undertaken to assure that the subject would leave the laboratory in a state of well-being.”

In his article “The Experiment of Autonomy,” Stanley Milgram describes the findings of his famous ‘Milgram’s Experiment.’ In the experiment, Milgram hired actors to act as students and asked random people to take the role teacher. The teacher would administer a word memory test to the student and would shock the student when they answered the question incorrectly. The actors, although not actually being shocked, would scream with more and more each shock and eventually refused to answer, during which time they were shocked again. Meanwhile, the ‘scientist’ encouraged the teacher to continue by simply saying “The experiment requires you to go on…”

Researchers need to explain to the participants about certain information, then the participants consider whether to participate or not. Without consent form, participants would not know what they are getting themselves into, how long would the observation will be or is there any potential harm for the participants themselves. When doing an experiment without informed consent, research would not know their participants background history where they have experienced being stalk by people. In this case, Middlemist, Knowles and Matter (1976) could put someone’s mental state vulnerable because it might be one out the sixty the participants has trauma people observing them without permission. If the participants realized that they are being observed it could lead to anxiety.

132) This passage explains that the Giver thinks Jonas’ teachers are foolish and unknowing. Jonas changes his opinion about his teachers in a negative way, after hearing about what the Giver said about them. This situation could be true about life and about the novel. In life, people frequently change their opinions when they hear the other side of the story.

Milgram’s Experiment and Learned Helplessness Martian Seligman • The purpose of the research that is described in the study • The research methods that were used • The general results that were found (results do not need to be described in detail) • The conclusions that were drawn • The overall implications of the research History: Milgram’s Experiment was the experiment with the electric shock to the “student” by the (teacher) and every time the (student) got the answer wrong. The (teacher) would send a shock to them using buttons from the other side of the room.

In the movie, there are 24 students chosen to participate in the experiment. The researchers conducted series of interviews to eliminate applicants that have psychological

Many argue that the ALICE response program just exposes students to things situations that will cause unnecessary stress and fear. During the training, students are taught how to handle a situation where they is an armed intruder in their school. Many parents do not want these drills in place because they “don’t want to expose their young children to such discussions of violence” (Blad). The whole idea of a intruder coming into schools and trying to harm them is very scary, especially when your school is going over in detail how to defend yourself in a situation because the training can make it seem much more likely to occur. The training makes this situation seem much more real, which causes students to be scared and worried when they come to school because they may think they will be shot.

Social conditions play a huge role in determining how one does or does not conform and to what degree. There are various factors that Ash should have taken into account such as how a subject is raised and who the subject surrounds himself with. If it is human nature to conform, the results of his experiment were incorrect because not all of his subjects conformed to the norm. Even the stubbornness or the wish to stand out could play a role in how well someone will conform. To fix this, Ash could have studied his subjects to find

This can be linked to teens bullying someone despite their conscience telling them otherwise because all of their friends are doing it. Robbins highlights Whitney’s own experiences with being afraid to not do what her friends are doing, such as bully people. Since Asch’s study, scientists have delved deeper into the study of why this occurs, and Berns discovered a link between physiological experiences of fear and non-conformity. I notice myself experience even the physiological symptoms associated with

The learner quickly acted as if he were in a great deal of pain. While the experimenter encouraged the teacher to continue, the subjects were tested upon their

In an experiment described in Stanley Milgram’s article ,“The Perils of Obedience” most of the subjects as described as teachers, tend to follow orders from the experimenter even when they knew the victim (student) were being hurt by the electric shocks. The experiment in detail is to test how much pain someone can give to another just because he was ordered to. The experiment was divided between two people, a student and a teacher. They were to read a pair of words, then remember the second word afterwards. If the answer was incorrect then they were to be punished by the electric shock.

In the novel, Dr. Rios describes a concept He calls “dummy smart”. During his study he noted that there were multiple youth who were doing very well in school, but were labeled as being deviant and dumb by school officials. They purposely acted as if they were uninterested in school, but when called upon they always knew the answer, which shows they are more willing to gain respect from people of higher authority in a more negative way. As the novel progresses Dr. Rios goes on to explain how some of the youth wanted to change, but felt

I found it shocking that one person wanted to go higher on the amperage than 450. It’s amazing what some people will do all because they are told to do so by a guy in a lab coat. My reaction to this video was shocked. I didn’t realize what people are capable of.

When these students plagiarize others work they render themselves unable to truly understand the material. The purpose of going to school is to prepare students for life and give them the necessary knowledge they need to succeed. If you simply copy someone 's work, it eliminates the whole learning aspect because none of the work is your own doing. Along with that, you lose the potential knowledge and skills that could help you later in life. The punishment serves as a reminder of those facts and helps students come to realize that cheating hinders your education.

It would have been unethical for teachers to tell students they are failures and will never amount to anything, so teachers were led to believe they had untapped potential (Madon, Willard, Guyll, & Scherr, 5/8
