Would you hurt someone if an authority figure told you to? Stanley Milgram's obedience experiments in the 1960s asked this disturbing question and revealed the dark side of human conformity. Participants believed they were delivering increasingly painful electric shocks to another person, all in the name of science.
His results shocked the world, showing how seemingly ordinary people could be manipulated into cruelty when they trusted the authority of the experimenter. We'll explore the experiments, the ethical debates they ignited, and the chilling ways Milgram's work applies to issues like blind obedience, cults, and online hate mobs.
This video isn't about making you feel bad. It's about understanding how social pressures, the pull of authority, and the desire to fit in can lead us astray. Most importantly, we'll discuss how to resist, how to cultivate critical thinking, and how to stand up for your conscience, even when it's hard.
