Milgram+-+Period+2


 * Milgram's experiment on obedience began in July 1961, three months after the beginning of Adolf Eichmann's trial. Adolf Eichmann was a German Nazi war criminal, and Milgram's study was going to be used to answer his question if whether Eichmann and his accomplices had a sense of morality. Milgram's experimental results would suggest that they were just following orders, even if it was against their moral beliefs.
 * The aim of this study is what level of obedience would be shown when participants are told by a figure of authority to administer electric shocks that may become potentially fatal to another person.
