Why is this a problem?
|
This is a problem because most people react to obey authority instead of being aware of how they are hurting someone else.
|
In the experiment 60- 65% of the people went all the way through with the electric shocks because they were just being told to.
| |
What are the causes of this
problem?
|
I believe the cause of this problem is terrible people with no conscience of hurting others, using people that obey them to hurt others.
|
For example, Hitler used germans that obeyed him to kill innocent people. He did it because everyone was obeying him instead of stopping him.

Who is affected by this
problem?

|
How can this problem be
solved?
|
I don't know of a way to solve this problem because we were raised following instructions from our eldest but it's important to keep our self conscience alive, in order not to hurt others.
|
Stopping authority that use their power for the worse would be a problem solver for this case. Such as stopping a dictator or a leader of a gang from hurting others.

|
What will happen if the
problem is ignored?
|
If this problem is ignored it will become too violent to control like a war.
|
More wars or authority will receive unnecessary power because of others obeying them.

Milgram Experiment
Quick Write: I believe it's never right to disrespect or disobey your own parents. However if your parents don't agree with you about something and wouldn't want to talk to you about it. Then you have the right to disobey them and do what you want to. For example, when I didn't want to go to school, my mother would fight with me because I needed to go to school which makes that a time I had to obey her. I disobeyed my mother when I was really young and didn't want to clean something my brother had messed up. I was right to disobey her because I didn't do the mess that was created.
Following this four columns template I answered the question, "Why do people blindly obey authority?" on the source Milgram Experiment.

Oh, Amy. You show such great effort. It's very impressive how you are learning all of this independently. The assignment also asked you to answer one of the questions in a well-organized paragraph. Want to do that? P.S. Capitalize proper nouns such as "German." Also I think you are referring to peoples' consciences. You may be confusing it with self-conscious, which is a term referring to someone who is hyper-aware of themselves, shy, or easily embarrassed.
