Tired_Old_Man 1 Posted January 13, 2007 People are more than willing to believe and follow authority figures. And many people do not realize that George W. BuSh is a "Public Servant", NOT KING GEORGE. Oh, BTW, the ABC Primetime experiment proved that women are more eager to please authority figures than men. In the original experiment, done in the 1960's by Stanley Milgram, some of the test subjects actually (would have) killed the other participant (if it was not a faked experiment). Milgram devised his experiment to find out why the German people were so willing to follow the commands that brought about the Holocaust. He preformed the experiment in the USA to see what "the norm" was before he would test people in Germany. He never got to Germany, because the people of the USA were too willing to torture and kill as long as someone else took the responsibility More Info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
