Are people inherently obedient? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
Conformity research strongly proves human's to be social beings. Because people have the tendency to answer questions based off of what their surroundings say, it shows they rely on their social surroundings to determine their answers.

# data[].attributes.body
The levels of obedience varied as the experimental conditions were manipulated because it depended who was in authority. Depending on who is in authority will determine the level of obedience given.

# data[].attributes.body
No people are not inherently obedient. Obedience is learned through observation and through being taught to give obedience.

# data[].attributes.body
The Saints followed the rules they were given because they were getting paid. Every time they hurt someone they would get paid. The people who were paying them were giving them the money so they were considered to be the people in authority.

# data[].attributes.body
Strongly proves
Asch's research strongly proves that humans are social beings, because he demonstrated that just to conform people will put their own opinion aside even if they know its right.

# data[].attributes.body
Asch's experiment proves extensively that humans are social and have in-groups/out-groups. He shows this by making 4 out of 5 say the wrong answer mentally forcing the 5th person to say the wrong answer instead of having there own original thoughts. If the the 5th person says the wrong answer the others will see him as being in a out group but the 5th person wants to be in a in group and to not feel awkward so they go with everyone else.

# data[].attributes.body
I strongly agree that conformity proves humans to be social beings. In the Asch experiment, subjects knew that the rest of the group had the incorrect answer yet proceeded to give that same answer. Many only gave the answer because of the social pressures they received when they said the correct answer aloud. Humans also separate themselves to go into social groups whether that be an in group or an out group.

# data[].attributes.body
Asch's experiment and in group/out group mostly proves that that humans be social beings. In the experiment where there was a group of guys saying the wrong answer and the subject being test just went with their answer just not to be excluded and be judge went along with them even thought they were saying the wrong answer.

# data[].attributes.body
Conformity research strong proves humans to be social beings. This is seen through Asch's experiment when people would say the wrong answers, even when they knew the answers were wrong. This shows that people rely more on fitting in with the group rather than being correct.

# data[].attributes.body
Conformity research strongly proves that humans to be social beings because in the experiment the guys knew that the answer was wrong but continued to give the wrong answer just because the people surrounding them were

# data[].attributes.body
conformity research strongly proves that human beings do rely on their social groups to determine their answers and/or actions.

# data[].attributes.body
The conformity research experiment strongly proves humans to be social beings because people and their answers are easily affected by the environment they are in. If they see that everyone is giving the same/similar answers then they will also answer like them because they want to fit in and not go against such a larger group.

# data[].attributes.body
The conformity research strongly proves humans to be social beings because it proves that humans will go against their intuition or their belief just to not be singled out or to fit in with the group.

# data[].attributes.body
Asch's conformity research strongly shows that humans belong in social groups. The experiment showed clearly how humans will pick the same answer as the group even when it is wrong and they don't agree with it.

# data[].attributes.body
The levels of obedience varied as the experimental conditions were manipulated because once you started you didn't want to stop.The teacher's knew that what they were doing was hurting the students but they valued being accepted by the authority figure more so they kept pressing the shock button. The pressure of being accepted by the authority figure pushed the teacher to continue hurting the student.

# data[].attributes.body
confirmi

# data[].attributes.body
the conformity research somewhat proves it because even though people try to follow the crowd during certain events 1 out of all the groups doesn't feel the same  way some people are independent don' t always follow the group

# data[].attributes.body
The levels of obedience varied as the intensity and negative repercussions began to increase. Also when responsibility shifted, so too did the level of obedience, as the "teachers" were not fond of the idea of having a death on their hands

# data[].attributes.body
the level of obedience varied because it depends on who is giving the instructions and how many people are following those instructions, size of the group.
the teacher chose to continue to shock the person because of the person who was in charge even though they felt uncomfortable with continuing he still chose to obey the rules.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the level of obedience varied due to who was giving instructions, and the consequence of being obedient. As the shocks intensified and the teacher heard the learner in pain, some people became disobedient while others kept going.

# data[].attributes.body
The level of obedience varied in different situation. If someone is being extremely pressure to do something the person is most likely to do what they being told but if someone is not being as pressure they are less likely to not follow along and disobey.

# data[].attributes.body
The obedience level varied based on who was giving the rules and how powerful their authority

# data[].attributes.body
The levels of obedience varied as the experimental conditions were manipulated because it all depends on role of the authority because we have seen that even it the teacher didn't liked hitting the electrical shock, he still did it because the role of the authority figure said so.

# data[].attributes.body
The levels of obedience varied as the experimental conditions were manipulated because as the teachers realized that they were hurting the learner, they no longer wanted to continue the questions. They were not aware that it was an experiment and when they wanted to stop the authority figure would not allow them, giving the teachers orders to ensure that they continued.

# data[].attributes.body
it was manipulated because the teacher was being pushed to go through with it and since the authority seem like higher rank then the teacher

# data[].attributes.body
Under the conditions that they would get paid and remain anonymous, were the players willing to exhibit obedience. As seen in the Milgram experiment, responsibility being shifted is a big deal in obedience so when the players feel as though they can remain hidden they're more likely to be obedient.

# data[].attributes.body
Conformity research strongly proves humans to be social beings. Humans tend to want to be and feel belonged somewhere. They will conform to social groups that they want to be apart of. From Asch’s experiment we learned that an individual will choose to side with the group base on the facts the groups give which influences them to change their position, or they will side with the group base on fear of criticism from the group. People do not like standing along or being different so they will always socialize/conform.

# data[].attributes.body
The saints mostly where obedient because they were being rewarded with a price which was the money they were being pay, also they where following what their couch was telling them to do which then led to one person doing it and when an other team saw they were doing it they probably felt pressure to join.

# data[].attributes.body
The levels of obedience varied because the subject's morals started to interfere with whether to follow the authority figures instructions or not. When they heard Mr.Wallace screaming most of them started to be reluctant to follow the instructions because they didn't want to inflict anymore pain.

# data[].attributes.body
People do not inherent obedient, humans naturally follow what they told or do what they see Which led to going along with what other people do or say just to be included in whatever that person is doing. Also it depends on how much pressure that person is on that makes them be obedient.

# data[].attributes.body
The conditions that led to obedience in the Saints case were outside motivations. Here the motivation was that the players were being bribed with money, everytime they hurt someone they were rewarded with money. Also, there was a very large group of players taking part in this so the larger the group, the harder it is to say no, because of the pressure of wanting to fit in with your teammates. They were also under the direction of their coaches, knowing their coach was in charge of their future, they felt like they had to listen to them.

# data[].attributes.body
As the experimental conditions were manipulated, the levels of obedience varied due to our emotions. Humans can sympathize and empathize with things/each other, which influences our actions.  At the beginning, the teachers obeyed fully for they at that time they were not able to sympathize with the learner, and the pain of the learner was not that high but when the shocking level went up and the learner kept screaming in pain, they began to disobey little by little since they became emotionally distressed. They, at that time felt guilty for what they were doing and considered how they will feel if they were in that position, but due to fear and the tendency for humans to obey things some kept going.

# data[].attributes.body
the influence on the saints obedience was money, if anyone was to hurt someone they were to get paid based off of the other player getting injured. Also many people were doing this.

# data[].attributes.body
No people aren't obedient they just are very easy

# data[].attributes.body
they were getting paid good money and coaches were persuaded them for the money as well

# data[].attributes.body
The conditions were:the money, the size of the group doing it, and the authority. If the amount of people doing it was smaller than it is possibly there would have been less players participating. Also if the players started it and no the coaches then not many of the players would of participated either.

# data[].attributes.body
Obedience is inherent. This can be seen in the Milgram experiment, where without any previous interaction or research, the "teacher" followed the instructors commands, even when the "student" was in supposed pain.

# data[].attributes.body
No, people are not inherently obedient, they learn how to be obedient. People learn to be obedient based off of what they learn and observe.

# data[].attributes.body
The level of obedience varied in he experiment based off the size of the group because the larger majority then the more shame they would receive for disagreeing.

# data[].attributes.body
people are not inherently obedient that is something that you have to learn by observation.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, people are inherently obedient. they develop morals and attitudes that help them to break from being so obedient. Even in the jail experiment like the miligram experiment , the authority figure has a huge impact on the subject following directions. Even during the Holocaust, because of the size of the followers for Hitler, more people started joining because they conformed to those around them and the views.

# data[].attributes.body
The conditions that made the saints' players be obedient are the money what was offered, the fact that other players were doing it as well so and majority of the players were doing so the players who weren't felt out of place and most likely wanted to be part of the program just to be apart of the group

# data[].attributes.body
The conditions that led to obedience in the Saints case is that they were getting paid to do what they were told. The people who paid them are the authority figure so the players got an offer they did not want to refuse.

# data[].attributes.body
The obedience of the saints came from being paid. The people paying them were the coaches or higher authority.

# data[].attributes.body
No, people are not inherently obedient because as long as there is someone telling them what to do and they believe that they have no other choice than they will follow the order, but if there isn't any authority figure around or any pressure to obey then humans won't obey

# data[].attributes.body
The conditions in the saints case is that they were getting paid to injure players. Since majority of the team participated

# data[].attributes.body
no because people don 't automatically inherit behavior the authority must have a way to get their with them such as speaking or rank etc it must have something that would effect the group to follow them

# data[].attributes.body
Obedience comes from how loyal or trustworthy a person is to you. People are inherently obedient but the people they are obedient to depends on trust.

# data[].attributes.body
No, people are not inherently obedient because we all learn from how we are taught and our environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think people are inherently obedient; however, I do think that people are trained/taught to be obedient.  If people are Inherently obedient then regardless of their situation they will have the ability to consent.  Because I am trained to obey good instructions and not bad instructions, I will not consent to something that is bad. Growing up i was told to listen to my elders and respect them, but only if I know that they are reliable, I was taught not to obey strangers who looked a little shady. Obedience to me is not inherited but its’ one of the learned abilities that we learn at a young age and keep building up on it.

# data[].attributes.body
The Saints obedience was due to secondary reinforcement. They were getting paid to do what they were doing. They used positive/secondary reinforcement to encourage the behavior. They could have said no and disobeyed and not get in trouble, but they were rewarded for their obedience.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe that people are inherently obedient. Whenever we see authority figures, they're at a higher position than us which makes us believe that they know more than we do and what they think is right, is right even when it's really not. We tend to naturally obey them even if it's against our will because we may feel pressured, or intimidated not follow their orders

# data[].attributes.body
The condition that led to obedience in the Saints case, is the money. They were getting paid which increased their obedience to injure others. This strategy of positive reinforcement caused them to keep doing the behavior even if it was wrong because they were rewarded for it.

# data[].attributes.body
the obedience comes from the person telling the players to do it are seen as authority figures, the money, and the fact that other people are doing it too

# data[].attributes.body
people are inherently obedient because they look for leader and want someone that agrees with their beliefs and guide them

# data[].attributes.body
Research shows that conformity is prevalent amount all most cultures. People want to feel like they belong somewhere and they change their behavior to fit in with others. People will go against their own morals and beliefs in order to not feel like they are included with the group

# data[].attributes.body
Obedience is inherent to an extent. You are more inclined to be obedient to family members such as your parents but being obedient to others is learned through observation and socialization.

# data[].attributes.body
The levels of obedience varied depending on the level of authority the authority figure had.

# data[].attributes.body
Obedience is not inherent, it is learned from through behavior and observation. For example, a child is more inclined to make a mess playing around than to clean up her mess without a parent teaching them to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
The obedience in the Saints case was the cause of positive reinforcement. The players would receive a bonus if they injured an opposing player so it motivated the player to do just that.

# data[].attributes.body
Asch's experiment and the ingroup/outgroup experiments shows that humans are social being to a great extent because even if we know the right thing to do or are aware of the correct answer we will still do what the majority does. Especially in a high school setting that is when students are the most inadvertently pressured by society to follow the "norm"

# data[].attributes.body
Asch's experiment strongly proves that humans are social creatures. He proved this by showing i his expoeriment peole will bend their idea of right until it in formed with the group.

# data[].attributes.body
conformity research strongly proves humans to be social beings because our actions tend to reflect the environment we are in and are influence we are around. For example, in Asch's conformity if there is a group of 10 students that are asked to choose to pick heads or tail and 8 people out of the 10 pick heads the last two are most likely to pick heads too because group majority influences individual judgement.

# data[].attributes.body
The level of obedience changed when conditions were manipulated because humans will only go so far before realizing that what ever their bending their morals to do wont let them sleep at night.

# data[].attributes.body
The obedience of the Saints has a lot to do with the positive reinforcement represented by the money received . If they saints felt that everything was under the cover and they were protected they would become more and more obedient.

# data[].attributes.body
People are not inherently obedient because it is a learned skill that is brought up by levels of discipline

# data[].attributes.body
No people are not inherently obedient much like children their comfortable doing their own thing but when introduced to a group they feel more comfortable blending in. For example children who are raised with no discipline tend to have no self control and are obedient to no one while ones who are disciplined and cared for will be able to control themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Levels of obedience varied as the experimental conditions were manipulated because of our situation and how we feel at the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
The obedience of the Saints was enhanced by money which is a positive reinforce. The money caused them to put up with the deal and continue to hurt the other player

# data[].attributes.body
From each experiment, obedience varied because each experiment varied slightly. When those who were conducting the experiment realized the harm they cased, they became less obedient.

# data[].attributes.body
The positive reinforcement was the money being given. They were given an object (money) which increased their behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
Obedience in learned through observation and being taught that you should be obedient to authority figures. It is a societal norm to conform to these beliefs.
