Social psychology’s most famous experiments expose human nature and force the question: Would I really do that? Could I betray my own eyes, my judgment, even my humanity, just to complete some experiment. Moreover, t he answer, if it’s an honest one, often gives rise to observations about the cruelties of the day, whether suicide bombing, torture, or hate crimes. And so an experiment — a mock exercise, testing individual behavior, like Milgram’s — can become something else, a changing prism through which people view the larger culture, for better and for worse.

In this discussion-group posting, tell your group members what you would do if you were a subject in the Milgram experiment. Where would you stop in the base-line set-up? Then, regarding the paragraph above, what do you think the experiment tells us about human nature? Then view the postings and comment on them, agree or disagree, and why. Keep it respectful, always.
