The amount of pressure is understandable and relatable, however the actions in harming another would be difficult to obey. "65% participants continued to the highest level of 450 volts. All of the participants continued to 300 volts."
The word 'ordinary' is overrated and not specific enough. I find it unbelieveable, as everyone has their own different thoughts and reasons. "...to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person simply because he/she was ordered to do."
The decisions the participants made weren't either wrong or right, nor making them an 'evil' or normal person. With the pressure from their 'superior' the decision wasn't made with a clear mind. "When the teacher refused to administer a shock the experimenter was to give a series of orders (prods) o ensure they continue."
Anna,i really like how your writing flows perfectly and it is easy to understand.Your writing was helpful for me because i found it easy to know what was going who was involved and the important information was clear.i think you could point out how reading the text made you feel and possible how you could relate to "the milgram experiment".this is a very good piece of writing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Paige :)
DeleteAnna, I really like how much detail you put into your reading log. I found the way you set out your paragraphs useful and it helped me read and understand it better. Good Job!
DeleteKa pai Anna. Your opinions are strong and are supported with evidence. Consider 'sandwiching' your quotations, using words like "For example," to introduce them. Additional connections to historical/social contexts and/or your own experiences would improve your grade. Nicely done for a first go! :)
