| Summary: | Ethical dilemmas continues with the hidden camera series "What Would You Do?" that captures people's reaction when confronted with dilemmas compelling them to act or mind their own business.The Milgram Experiment (instituted by social psychologist Stanley Milgram in 1961) was a series of studies intended to measure the willingness of a participant to obey an authority who instructs the participant to do something which may conflict with the participant's personal conscience. "Primetime" wanted to know if ordinary people today would still follow orders even if they believed their actions were causing someone else pain. Thus, they re-created the famous experiment to understand how ordinary people can perform unthinkable acts. The Milgram experiment and the Stanford prison experiment are shown as examples. |
