He was just following orders and never meant any harm, but it was too late! We don't really question authority figures like the police, our government, or even boss because we see them as the person in power. In fact, following orders from someone in power is actually human nature and whether we want to or not, we do it without even realizing it even if it's morally wrong. So how do we change this for the better and how can we be more aware of what we are doing? Jacob was studying at Yale University when one day, he spotted a sign looking for paid volunteers in a school experiment. “We will pay for a day's work and will only take 1hr” read the flyer. Excited to earn some cash, Jacob showed up for the study the following day. Inside, Jacob met a fellow student, Wallace, and the lead experimenter who had them draw straws. “The short straw is the ‘learner’ and will remember a list of words. The other person will be the teacher and quiz them” said the experimenter. Wallace drew the short straw. The experimenter strapped Wallace to electrical wires and told him, “For every wrong answer you will be shocked by your teacher, Jacob. If you get a correct answer, nothing will happen”. He then walked Jacob to the next room and showed him the shock panel. "15v= slight and 450v = XXX. Is that a lot?" Jacob thought. “You will ask the student a question and if it's wrong, you will say “wrong” and shock him moving the intensity up each time. Don't worry. He can’t see or hear us, but we can hear him. You may begin" demanded the experimenter. Wallace got the first 3 questions correctly “Great job!”, thought Jacob. But then, he got 5 in a row wrong. “Ahhhh!! Okay, this is starting to hurt now”. After the 8th shock, Jacob questioned the experimenter, “Excuse me, is this safe?” “Please continue”, he responded. After 5 more wrong answers, Jacob looked down at his shock panel and saw it read 315v - close to the danger zone! “I-I don’t think this is safe. It might seriously harm him...” “The experiment requires you to continue," said the experimenter. “AHHH Please, stop! I-I can't do this anymore!” exclaimed Wallace. “We are hurting him, we need to stop!” said Jacob. “It is absolutely essential that you continue. You have no other choice but to continue until the experiment is finished” demanded the experimenter. “I’m not responsible for what happens!” Jacob was now at 450v (XXX) - the highest setting. “Please get it right Wallace, please answer it correctly” But there was only silence. “If the learner doesn’t respond, it is incorrect. Continue the procedure” said the experimenter. He flipped the switch and still, there wasn't a single sound coming from the room. Jacob stared at the voltage ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqtOX2qBZtU
