Book Reading # 37

Chapter 9-14

Summary
Chapter nine talks about the differences between conformity and obedience. Milgram describes variations in some experiments and discusses his results. Chapter ten talks about how obedience can be explained and how hierarchical models are formed. Chapter eleven describes obedience more in depth and how factors such as family, educational institutions, and rewards affect it. Chapter fourteen is about Milgram answering the questions critics raised from his experiment.
Discussion
I liked the way Milgram describes the differences between conformity and obedience. Having discussed in class the question about if this should be considered an ethical experiment, I think the last chapter is very interesting. Although I will say that I do not agree with everything Milgram says.
