Just Say No

            
             "Just Say No!" That is easy to say, but not so easy to do. In Stanley Milgram's article, "The Perils of Obedience," he discusses several similar experiments he conducted studying the human resistance to pressure and obedience. Contrasting his thoughts Diana Baumrind in her article, "Review of Stanley Milgram's Experiments on Obedience," critiques the comments of Stanley Milgram and his experiments. Milgram found that people would obey with the right situations, the right pressures and if they could pass off the blame to someone else. Baumrind contradicts Milgrams views on how he did things.
             Milgrams experiment was to see how far a person would go in hurting another human being. One man was brought in at random (the teacher) and another a person in on the experiment (the learner). The teacher was shown the student being strapped in to be electrocuted if he got something wrong. The teacher was informed on how to administer the tests and informed through out to continue the experiment no matter what. .
             His first conclusions on the experiment were that in the right situations you could get most people to obey what they were told to do. The fact that the teacher had no previous or future connections with the learner was a good way of getting them to continue. Milgram compared the teacher to experimenter relationship to the relationship to Hitler and his soldiers. They listened because they new they had to or there would be consequences. The final way Milgram got people to listen and not worry about the consequences was allow them to think they could pass off the blame onto the experimenter and not have to take any responsibility. Milgram made the teacher think this way by telling them that the experimenter would take all the blame, and after the experiment was over the teacher was informed of everything. Milgram believed this would make them feel better about everything that took place and not feel that they did anything wrong.
