Dec. 20th, 2008 02:42 pmPeople are just as likely to torture now as they were in Milgram's 1960s experiment.
The difference in this experiment is that not only were people asked to shock a protesting "subject," but at one point in the experiment, a volunteer would come in and refuse to continue, in front of the participant. And... 63% of the participants continued anyway, even when given this example.
Now, I'm off to my aunt's house to bake cookies! =D
