And screamed. Minutes passed. Again, lights came on in apartment windows--imagine them--dabs of yellow both Catherine and Winston must have seen, so there and yet so absent" (96). taylormurphy221 https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/bexd51fsw841/wish/140393364 I remember readings about the case of Kitty Genovese in psychology. When my psych teacher recommended this book to me, she said that she had to skip over this part because of how graphic it was. I thought, instead, that the violent and mature content was reported rather matter-of-factly in this section, though the environment might have been dramaticized. Slater used much more vivid description and artistic license with Milgram's experiment when describing how 'you' would approach the deceptive experiment.]]> 2016-11-29 02:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/bexd51fsw841/wish/140393364 " 'I came out,' he says, 'and that took a lot of strength and built a lot of strength, and I saw how pathetically vulnerable I was to authority, so I kept a strict eye on myself and learned to buck expectations" (59). taylormurphy221 https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/bexd51fsw841/wish/140394466 I love this quote because it feels so liberating, and redeems humanity in Milgram seemed to illustrate as a dark hour--as so many average Joes had easily "shocked" test confederates to levels that were "lethal." This particular test subject did indeed go all the way through to the lethal level--because he felt his own feelings crushing himself, he seemed to cease to have empathy for the unseen confederate. After the debriefing, though? He came out, galvanized himself into an activist, and learned how to defy his former self after Milgram's study on conformity.]]> 2016-11-29 03:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/bexd51fsw841/wish/140394466 maverick taylormurphy221 https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/bexd51fsw841/wish/140394980 (n) an unorthodox or independent-minded person

Many consider Stanley Kubrick to be a maverick for his work 2001: A Space Odyssey, and though I consider it to be a fine work of art, I really do question how much drug use was on set considering that the computer seems to have greater net emotion in its voice than the astronauts.]]> 2016-11-29 03:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/bexd51fsw841/wish/140394980 taylormurphy221 https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/bexd51fsw841/wish/140396147 2016-11-29 03:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/taylormurphy221/bexd51fsw841/wish/140396147
