Unordinary Ordinary Teachers

 

Perhaps we could assume that the hypothesis of teachers being ordinary is wrong; but based on the results (which at least more than 65% of the subjects in every region would continue administrating the intensity) and the number of people who were subjected to this experiment, depicted that most of them were cooperative and obedient to the experimenter's order
             What actually happens during a very solid situation like this experiment is that, when one demands the orders the other one is obligated to execute the procedures. As Milgram points out, the physical presence of the authority can enforce that act of obedience (Milgram). In this case, subjects are more likely to obey the orders. For instance, when orders are given to a soldier while the commander is physically present, the soldier is more likely to perform the act of obedience immediately after the orders are given, though he might not be pleased with them. We also can not deny the fact that carrying out the act of obedience becomes fairly easy when the person has been told that the consequences do not belong to the executer.
             The fact that most of the subjects would defend themselves, while being interviewed after the experiment had been finished, with an excuse of performing the act under command of an authority and doing the given duty, can simply be considered evidence that most ordinary people would tend to do while they are brought to a very solid situation. To demonstrate this fact in real life, let's assume that a person has joined the Army, and that he has just been called to fight in a civil war which has lately been raging on. Even though he has never wanted to punish people by pulling the trigger, he is ordered by his superior to perform the act. At this point, insubordination can ultimately result in his own punishment yet being obedient not only can save him from being "reprimanded", but also it is considered performing the act under the command of authority.
