Consider; 1) Many of us believe we’re independent enough to never go against our moral ot ethical code to the extreme, regardless of pressure put on us.. 2) *None* of the participants in Milgram experiment were under physical/violent restraint; ehy did they continue to go along? 3) Were they in majority or the minority? According to Milgram, is this a universal constant across time and culture? 4) Zimbardo: why did the good guards conform to the situation and look the other way? Why did prisoners commit degrading acts on command of guards? 5) Incorporate real world examples (abu gharib prison, holicaust, genocide {rwanda or more recently in china against muslims}) 6) Shifting of responsibility from individual to authority is *key theme*. – Do those who obey have unique personality traits? – What role do symbols play in behaviour? (scientists with white coat, guard with sunglasses, chain on prisoner leg) 7) Is all obedience destructive? Significance of bystander effect with this theme?
