Stanley Milgram: Video Analysis

e Stanley Milgram Experiment video shows how people will do what they are influenced to do. They take people and give them the power to electrocute people if they get the answer wrong. Over half of the people continue to go up on voltage all the way until it’s at
450 volts. At this point the people think that the other person is dead. The reaction for the other half is scared and they stopped after a little while because they realized they are hurting someone else. I found it shocking that one person wanted to go higher on the amperage than

I wasn’t shocked by this effect because I would probably do the same thing. It’s hard to break away from what other people are doing and be
