Milgram’s study was troubling to watch but enlightening as well. Through his experiment he was able to portray why people choose to obey authority figures even in instances they know to be morally wrong. Milgram conducted this specific experiment because as he said, “How is it possible that ordinary people…can act callously, inhumanely, without any limitations of conscious”. He was specifically referencing the mass genocide conducted against Jews during the Holocaust by Hitler. It is something that I had wondered myself, about the Holocaust, and other instances as well such as bullying. Although Milgram conducted a dangerous experiment and it would never be ethically allowed now, it was a necessary experiment to show how people truly react under such circumstances. Questioning individuals only provides answers about how people would ideally act under such circumstances. Placing them in those situations however, elicits the instinctual action human beings would actually undertake. As Herbert Winer said, “you don’t ask people what they would do given this hypothetical situation, you put them in the situation”.
