Obedience to Authority Experiment 2009

Being a natural skeptic I'm not sure that I buy that the experiment depicted in this film had the right controls, etc. (unlike Milgram's). It very well might have but I need to investigate and confirm this.

On the other hand, if we can safely assume that the footage we watched in 'Obedience' is accurate, this film gives us *at least* a dramatic appraisal of a plausible assessment of what is happening to the subjects from a psychological perspective in the well documented Milgram Experiment.

In particular, requests by the "teacher" to end the experiment were met by the following schedule:

1. Please continue.
2. The experiment requires that you continue.
3. It is absolutely essential that you continue.
4. You have no other choice, you must go on.

One final note: even if the reports in this account are true the sample set seems too small to draw broad conclusions.
