Could you??

We have all seen pictures, articles, and even movies about the Jewish Holocaust. We have drawn our own ideas about what the German people did or didn’t know about what was going on and what we would have done if we had been there! Could we have done some of the thing that we know happened to the Jewish and other people? Have you ever thought “I could never have done that, even under orders from an authority figure”
MAYBE?? HUMMMMMMM OK? Think on this!\
An experiment was done with 40 people, an authority figure (in a white coat to show authority) and an actor!
The actor was behind a wall with the authority and the other one (student) on the other side. In front of the student was a dial and switch, that showed Electric Voltage from 15 to over 450 volts (450 and it is death to the person receiving the voltage
The student tuned the dial up and hit the switch, piped in electric noise followed with a yell from the actor as in pain. After the dial had been turned up a ways and the screams got louder. Some of the students started to protest and didn’t want to go on.
The person in authority kept encouraging them. With thing as “ you need to go on” and as they protested (the students) the suggestions become more forceful.
Such as “ it is important that you continue with the experiment”
The last one was a command “ YOU HAVE TO DO IT”
One refused to go any higher than about 100 volts.
NOW guess what out of 40 students 25 went on to the 450 volts that would have killed the actor..
Still think you would be like one of the others or would you have went on
