Matt's comparison to ISIS, was a strong connection, as the need to feel a sense of belonging in a group, is greater than the ethics of that particular group compared to your own morals.

# data[].attributes.body
Both ludwika's and chailyn's person examples helped contribute to the conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
Ludwika's example regarding her younger brother related very well to the topic at hand.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that consequences are often the strongest motivators.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Chailyn, people are more afraid of the idea of consequences, and could strike enough fear so that the person submits to the authority.

# data[].attributes.body
Ludwiika makes a good point that when you feel like you're trapped it's a lot easier to cave in. I like how she connected the Miligram experiment to her brother fooling around in school and being forced to give the school his mom's phone number

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Matt about people conforming to their friend group.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Matt when he says we are more inclined to listen to older people. I also like that he compares it to a coach.

# data[].attributes.body
Ludwika's point about the foot-in-the-door was very good. People are more motivated to continue zapping the other after they do it once or twice.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Matt's opinion about how important age is in the experiment, how if the authoritative figure is older than you, you'd be more likely to follow and do as they say rather than if they're younger.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Chaylin that a more confident person is easier to follow. Ludwiika also makes a good point that it's easier to follow someone that makes themselves seem smarter and stronger

# data[].attributes.body
Ludwika made a strong point regarding childhood obedience (we learn to obey when we are young because we are taught it's right). This could change in adulthood depending on the person.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Matt, authority figures are definitely more intimidating than people on the same level as you.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Chaylin used a personal example to relate with the topic

# data[].attributes.body
The difference between authority figures and how they act affects how people respond to them. Authority figures who are confident, and backed up by legitimate research and schools, etc. people are more likely to follow their instructions.

# data[].attributes.body
Anna makes a really interesting point that younger generations would be more likely to follow directions. I agree with this since younger people are conditioned to listen to authority.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Anna that the younger generation would be more obedient because they aren't necessarily very in touch with their sense of morals and may be more trusting of the authority figure.

# data[].attributes.body
Lauren makes a good point, in the sense that a person could say they would't press the button, however being in the situation could change their views and actions.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree that the different ages would make a difference. I agree that the younger generation would be more rebellious and click more buttons.

# data[].attributes.body
How similar is the wall and lack of connection, to current cyber bullying situations?

# data[].attributes.body
Lauren mentioned how people react differently when put in a situation rather than what they say they would do. Anna also makes a good point when she said it depends on the person who plays the teacher (morals)

# data[].attributes.body
Like Lauren said, it is hard to answer if someone would be more willing now than in the 60s to follow this authority, had the experiment been completed today.

# data[].attributes.body
Emily makes a good point that the teacher would much rather hurt someone else than get hurt by the authority figure watching everything they're doing

# data[].attributes.body
Even though the teachers could not see the people they were shocking, they could still hear the effects of the shocks. They did not know it was a recording, which means they thought it was actually the learners they were hearing. Like Kat said, they could not see the effects, but they were able to hear the effects.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ana you will never know for certain how you would  respond to this experiment if you are not in it yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
It is hard to agree with Kat regarding stopping if they are face to face with seeing someone in pain. This relates to sports especially contact sports such as football. The players hit each other every play and want to hit them harder and harder in order to win the game. People are willing to do whatever they can to get ahead.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Lauren and Katarina when they say that the wall made it easier to hurt someone. The experiment would've been totally different if they were face to face with the learner

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Lauren when she mentions the wall between the subject and the allegedly shocked victim, and how that causes a disconnect between them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that if the teachers didnt have the wall between them and the learners, many of them wouldnt have continued to be shocking people

# data[].attributes.body
Lauren and Kat made a good point when she said that the person administering the shocks did not see the person so they may not feel as bad as they would if they were face to face with the person.

# data[].attributes.body
The blind authority, Emily talks about, really does play a role in this experiment, especially since in some cases, the experimenters are distanced from the participants, the participants are not really sure of their power, so they blindly follow what they are told, whether it is in fear or just following directions

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with that since the experiment was voluntary and there should not have been a fear that the experimenter would harm them if they stopped shocking the person.

# data[].attributes.body
Regarding Lauren's point, I agree with her because the whole authority of being at Yale and the experiment, makes the people unsure of knowing what they can do.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that the participants had free will and could have stopped it if they had strong enough morals and did not conform because the way they were hurting some one was wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Lauren when she said that people tend to side with people they believe have power or authority.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree with what Eric said about not trying to disobey the social. Even though they it is their fault to keep pushing the buttons we could also blame society for them not trying to disobey an authority figure.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Lauren, it's not their faults, the authorities kept reassuring them and saying that they would take responsibility.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Kat, and how the subjects nervously laughed, they were not entirely sure of their own power in the situation. I do not know if they were entirely sure if they had the chance to change the course of the experiment or leave if they wanted to.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emily's point that everyone has some sort of free will. You make your own decisions even when someone in power is encouraging you to do something

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emily's example of how you wouldn't just blame Hitler for the holocaust, you would blame Nazi Germany's army as a whole. Relating to how it isn't the experimenters fault in Milgram's experiment, but rather the person increasing the voltage.

# data[].attributes.body
For blaming Hitler you have to consider peoples fear of him which made them conform to his ideals.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Megan that the teacher was granted free will and it was their decision to move forward or not when told to continue.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emily it is not just one persons fault.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emily because you can not just blame one person for something that multiple people are involved in. Everyone involved should get at least some blame.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Emily when she talked about how the blame can not just be put on one person.

# data[].attributes.body
Eric is right, since there were no peers in the room to keep them in check, the participant continued to push the button. If they had a peer watching them, they'd want to appear moral in front of them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Eric, if someone is murdered by the electric shock, it would partially be Milgram's fault

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Lauren that its not all the volunteers fault, I think that the authority telling them to continue shocking them, makes it also the authority figures fault.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the point that the experiment did not mimic arrest and prison life exactly because there are many variables regarding the nature of the criminals/their personality that cannot be applied to regular people who were interested in participating in this experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Dan's point because when being put in prison even if you're innocent, you have the option of either rebelling or following the authorities. This does depend on the personality of the participant because they could be angry that they are wrongly convicted and not follow the instructions of the guards or follow their rules so they might have a greater chance of getting out.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Dan that someone that is innocent would probably want to rebel more if they did not commit a crime.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what Dan said because those who are falsely imprisoned may rebel or they may not based on how they react to authority and situation

# data[].attributes.body
I think that if more people rebel, more people will be inclined to join in because they wouldn't be going against authority alone and it's less scary that way.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Dan and Anthony as these people are not real prisoners and people who actually are in prison committed real crimes and already disobeyed authority. I feel as if criminals will act different in a prison situation than innocent people would.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Dan because it shows how the participants in the experiment weren't necessarily an accurate sample of the population because the people who responded to the ad had to be interested in this experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Dan because even though aggressive people most likely signed up for the experiment, guards in prisons are typically aggressive people so this experiment shows how the guards actually are.

# data[].attributes.body
Anthony's point of dehumanizing the participants is unethical because they had their identity and rights stripped from them.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with Kayla, six days can effect someones life forever if there is enough mental and physical trauma inflicted upon them.

# data[].attributes.body
Kayla said that 6 days would not be able to affect someone's whole life, but many of the participants showed signs of trauma after those 6 days - especially when constant stress in large amounts is placed on a regular person

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Joe and Kayla because this experiment was only six days and they made good points about how six days is a very short period of time and how it will not affect the lives of the prisoners forever.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Vivek, although the experiment was unethical and mentally harmed the participants, it allows us to have insight on roles that we hadn't had before.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Vivek because this was unethical but necessary. This showed how how humans behave when given a role that deals with power.

# data[].attributes.body
I also agree with Mackenzie, I wouldn't mind treating others differently if they were pushing a negative attitude towards me.

# data[].attributes.body
Jamie made a great point where everyone would claim not to be a terrible person if put in this type of situation, but through viewing ordinary people act so terribly it is uncertain how anyone would act.

# data[].attributes.body
Mackenzie had a good point when she brought up the role playing. You have to be put into the real life situation in order to say that you would be devoted to the role playing or not.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed Alicia's point in which people who deserved to be punished aren't as traumatized as those who are wrongly put in prison and don't deserve mistreatment.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Alicia, being put in the situation can make anything different

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Mackenzie that dehumanizing people allows it to be easier for authority figures to control them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's very interesting that they had the inmates have numbers instead of their names because it takes away their identity
