    I do have a hypothesis involving a variation of this experiment. It would involve military personnel or at least a military college like West Point. I think the obedience factor will increase with military personnel, but those who reject will reject violently. Therefore, the experimenter should be a Major with a Colonel on standby to stop the Teacher (Cadet, enlisted, etc) from harming the Major.

    That's an interesting hypothesis however many American Officer Universities requires their students to be taught about this very experiment. The only way I could see you receiving more genuine results is by doing it with enlisted members who have been in for at least three years.

    @@paulthehalfling - I would guess this "failure in morals" shown by the subjects would be the same as the terrible behavior often shown in military academies (and university male colleges!) that involve "hazing" - so-called 'ceremonies' involving new recruits or 'freshers" being humiliated, beaten, even tortured, by older officers or students? Ultimately, this is a failure by those in command - the commanding officers or college seniors etc - to behave ethically. They are the ones who bear responsibility.

    This experiment was conducted in the Psychology Dept at La Trobe University, Australia, in 1972. A female student friend of mine in college was traumatised by it. My friend returned from her "psychology prac class" to college one afternoon in tears. She then described exactly the experiment set-up mentioned in this and other articles about the Milgram experiment (it wasn't known by that name then). For her class, she had sat down and had an "Experiment in negative reinforcement on memory tasks" explained to her by her (?sociopathic) university lecturer. "Oh god! What did you do?" I asked her. She replied, "I told him to get fucked and walked out." She thought she'd failed, but she'd actually 'passed' the test! But it was a terrible thing to do to young students. Fortunately it would never get passed by an ethics committee today?.. I hope.

    The unmentioned issue with this experiment is it begins with only 2 choices. Be the person at the switch or the person getting shocked. The anxiety in the person at the switch comes from the person being shocked of course. But the commands being given give off a there's no other option vibe. Hence the problem being no way out. In that, the anxiety becomes defensive as in... "If its just us, I'd rather be at the switch than to switch roles with the other participant. Same anxiety is found in soldiers of war. Do the torturing or be tortured. To be in an enclosed room of few...1 being who is in control of the experiment seemingly having psychopathic behavior...to protect ones self is primal to most. This experiment doesn't prove much in that setting except that ppl who are lied to...as in "no one will be harmed during this experiment...can become fearful of their own well being in the face of a lie. And on a comical note. The experiment might contribute to finding JUST leaders who put their well being aside for the benefits of others or the whole.

    @@l.g3765 haven't watched this video in a while but if said psychiatrist did say that then he lived free and was probably raised around free thinkers. If he had been among the oppressed he would have seen what fear can do to ppl. To just see fear on a screen or read of it in a newspaper one can mistake fear for hate or psychopathic...and for those that thi k less...the can take it for whatever the commentary is guiding them to believe. So...before the experiment there are many theories. But after the experiment you truly see what needs work. I'm sure that scientist didn't take it as a win but someone who was vested in that experiment learned what those before them have learned. FEAR IS THE WORSE DIS-EASE TO BE INFLICTED WITH. Fear has no place in a free mind until they witness the fearful in action. I didn't notice until late in high school personally. Now i don't know if i should be putting all this effort into helping eliminate fear or if i should just step back and watch.

    You have a point. The lesser of two evils is a convenient and common way people think. Also known as “playing not to lose” and it’s still indicative of people who see themselves as powerless in a situation when they may have as much power as anyone else. Here, there is no “you have to switch” involved just like there’s no “you have to continue” if someone decided to physically and actually stop regardless of what the “experiment” calls for.

    @@OaklandMind true. In reality they didn't have to do either. And there's no way i would've continued. But I'm a free mind. Beyond what has already been said i believe the experiment was to see how docile ppl had become after being forced to go to school. (As that is the way our "formal" education started). I don't speak from a place of understanding only my own mind...but i witness more zombies everyday(bent on survival without actually pursuing life. Consuming and yet never really taking care of themselves). Those kinds of minds panic under pressure. They seem the gold medal or A when its presented without hesitation. That's where the love and praise is. 12 yrs of education can turn anything into a reality. After all...If you never got to create your own what else would you know. And the thought of being left behind prevents the common from ever desiring anything other than what they were told to desire. Anyway if the experiment was there to find good ppl it would have highlighted the ppl who didn't push the button after seeing such "disappointing" numbers. But what if those numbers were ideal to the funder(s). The information we are given is to say this is how ppl are. It backs up the bullshit saying that "we are all born sinners." Where i seek to understand to do better in teaching and optimistically undo a thing....others just see the thing and get blinded by the numbers in statistic form. I definitely hear and feel you tho. But that gives no understanding to find change. It finds ppl to point fingers at and judge for mistakes as if they are the mistake. And no one should be condemned forever for any individual move. Because ppl live for change once they find the path of least resistance. Tho we were (tv) taught otherwise.

    Result : adolf eichman is not too different from us. He was just an ordinary man like us. But he went to the extremes of executing millions of Jews during the Holocaust. We are not to say that we better than those criminals or victimizers around the world. The only thing that prevented us from killing people is because we are not given the right opportunity to do so. All humans are almost equally lost. Hitler is not much different from mother Teresa. And this points to that fact that humans are sinners by default. What makes mother Teresa stands out is not because she is good but because of the conviction she has about the One(Christ) who called her. In other words, we are not going to be good on own, no matter how well we pretend. If we are honest enough to admit how wicked we are we will realize tha we need a savior. That's why Christianity make sense. Jesus the second Adam came to redeem the race of first Adam.
