Imagine that you've volunteered for an experiment, but when you show up at the lab you discover the researcher wants you to murder an innocent person. You protest, but the researcher firmly states, "The experiment requires that you do it." Would you acquiesce and kill the person? When asked what they would do in such a situation, almost everyone replies that of course they would refuse to commit murder. But Stanley Milgram's famous obedience experiment, conducted at Yale University in the early 1960s, revealed that this optimistic belief is wrong. If the request is presented in the right way, almost all of us quite obediently become killers.

No, si no me sorprende... si es que estoy convencida que si en el juicio ese que se celebrara contra Dios (ver entrada anterior quien no sepa de que hablo) contrataran un abogado defensor preguntaría que de qué manera le iba a pagar... ¿con cheque bancario o bonos celestiales?.
ResponderEliminarYo, por si acaso, no participaría en el experimento como ayudante, por muchos créditos que me dieran!!
Besos!
Si ya lo digo yo lo que falta en el mundo es Electrical stimulation, una pasada lo de los “sospichosos”
