Episode description

* The goal of the Milgram experiment was to test the extent of humans' willingness to obey orders from an authority figure. * Participants were told by an experimenter to administer increasingly powerful electric shocks to another individual. Unbeknownst to the participants, shocks were fake and the individual being shocked was an actor. * The majority of participants obeyed, even when the individual being shocked screamed in pain. * The experiment has been widely criticized on ethical and scientific grounds. “Thought.co” Follow me on  Leave a voice message: https://anchor.fm/conspiracies-and-mysterie Marco Polo @ https://tinyurl.com/2pdtye8c Youtube @ coming soon Spotify@ https://tinyurl.com/2nys5g4p Apple@ https://tinyurl.com/2npbjolb Email: cfm80@duck.com Twitter @Ralphy_Ricky
