Meyer Article

The Meyer article was shocking to me in a few ways. I had already seen the Milgram experiment in Psychology, but everytime I hear about it, it shocks me. I realize that in a society such as our own, people have to be obedient to some extent. If no one was obedient, then there would be complete chaos all the time. On the other hand, it is scary to realize just how obedient we are as a group. When I first saw the experiment, I was wondering how someone could do that to another human being. I thought to myself that I never could. Even now I believe that in this specific experiment I wouldn't have done it. My reasoning isn't due to obedience though. I am extremely afraid of electricution and anything of that nature. If there was another experiment of a similar nature, I am not sure how far I would go. That is a frightening thought though, that I could just give into someones orders. Its difficult to say what this experiment means. It is obvious that some form of obedience is necessary in society. Where do we draw the line though?
