      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.

      excellent site.
  • 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.

  • We can't let apathy and ignorance become the status quo

      What this quote signifies is that we can't let ignorance and apathy be a reason for people not to make a difference. We need to change what's going on and make people realize the importance of several fundamental issues going on in today's world.

      Well said. The status quo - accepting things as they are and not making necessary changes- is like death because it's a state of non-growth.
  • The report found that younger people "do not understand the ideals of citizenship, they are disengaged from the political process, they lack the knowledge necessary for effective self-government, and their appreciation and support of American democracy is limited."

      Younger people don't know what's going on politically. When it comes time to vote, they won't be able to make their own decisions; they will most likely be lead to follow something that they don't truly understand.

      Do you think that it's only knowledge that they lack? Do you think that young people think their efforts won't make a difference in a 'corrupt' system?
    • mira ahmad

      No, I do not think that it's the only knowledge that they lack. I was just giving an example. There are elements of corruption, but our society is always looking for change. I think that if people are really passionate, that their efforts will be worth while.
  • The baby boomers, the World War II generation and our schools have failed to teach the ideals of citizenship to young people."

    This article is useful for my project because it states facts and shows statistics that really show how younger people are unaware and apathetic towards issues that revolve around their own government. It helps us make our hypothesis of teen awareness more thorough.

  • Many people are apathetic about a social problem because they are not informed.
  • When we dig down through all the layers to the roots of the causes, we find three fundamental causes of social problems: ignorance, apathy, and greed.
    • mira ahmad

      The author is concluding that most social problems can be linked to the three main issues that people have: ignorance, apathy and greed.
  • greed, apathy, and ignorance are all related.

      Ignorance, apathy and greed are all social issues that lead to the main fundamental issues that go on in today's world (Violence, crime, war, global warming, etc.) They all relate to eachother and are linked within, as explained in this paragraph.

      These are also moral and economic issues. Do you think that by becoming empathetic people and encouraging our 'moral imagination' that we might become better stewards of the planet?
    • mira ahmad
      mira ahmad on 24 Oct 10
       
      Yes, because by using our moral imagination we can find creative and different ways to do the right thing. Also, being aware allows us to understand the importance of some issues going on.

  • Greed depends on the absence of sympathy, and it benefits from ignorance about a social problem. Apathy can be reduced if there is less ignorance and less greed. Ignorance is reinforced by apathy, since apathetic folks don't care to obtain the knowledge which would reduce their apathy. Greed exploits the ignorance of the majority who do not have sufficient sympathy to counter the greedy faction.
  • Greed
  • Uttering a slogan does no good unless it arouses sympathy.

    Who are these people? Why is this site credible? Dig deeper here.

    This site is an editorial called: The progress report. Its written by an editor named Fred E. Foldvary. This was really interesting because the author mentioned 3 main problems and what they lead to. He spoke al lot about ignorance, which is exactly what my project is about, and the consequences of ignorance.
