Extremely interesting article. Not only does it give another summary of Stanley Milgram's experiment but it even compares it to human history. By using the example of the Nazi dominance during World War II, this article uses the Milgram Experiment to help readers understand why so many people obeyed the Nazis during the World War. This is beneficial to mine and Jordana's project as it gives us another useful example to include in our research. What differentiates this example from many we have found is that the Nazi reign over Europe was a huge event in world history thus this example showed us that the power of authority can be so powerful that it leaves a mark in the history of mankind. In addition, it can be used not only to influence one individual but gigantic groups of individuals as well, to go against what they believe is right.

In view of the Milgram experiments, the Nazi crimes are not difficult to understand. Milgram himself suggested that one of the major factors accounting for the Holocaust was the ready propensity of human beings to obey authorities even when obedience is wrong. Indeed, although Milgram's experiment has been repeated dozens of times with many different groups of people, the results are always the same: most people will obey external authority over the dictates of conscience.

This section further discusses the rapport between the Milgram Experiment and the Nazi reign in Europe. Additionally , it explains something I felt was very intriguing. It explains that Milgram's Experiment has been repeated numerous times and the results that appear are consistent: the majority of people will obey an authority figure even when they feel that they are making a wrong decision.

Make sure that you take into consideration that Milgram was making analogies to the Nazi regime and not explaining it. The important difference was the prevalence of FEAR in the latter.
