Experiments

How are the experiments similar? Both conduct experiments on people to prove something even though people think differently; they are more likely to do as they are being told to do so. Both experiments tested prove that no matter how immoral the act is, people still follow power in a given situation. People continue to listen to the authority instead of what their personal beliefs are. The consequences of doing such experiments result in depression and mentally disturbed. This is why the Zimbardo’s experiment was ended ahead of time. It is definitely wrong and unethical to do such thing just to prove something in my opinion. I understand if people did something wrong they should be punished but punishing them, like the way in the videos is not right. Experiment was successful in few ways, it definitely proved how Germans were obligated and forced to do what they were told during the Nazis control. It also proves people are likely to follow order in any given situation. I cannot think of a similar experiment to conduct.
