Meyer, If Hitler Asked You…

It was kinda funny reading this chapter especially the end about the “funny feeling” because it was an experiment my dad told me about when I was younger and I always wondered would I be able to shock someone like that if I were asked; also mind you, at the time I was young and a bit of a rebel and thought of course I would! Now as an adult, I understand why we can’t do these experiments. It might cause some individuals who are participating to be traumatized. I also was more confident and had an amazing memory at the time and thought I would get all the answers right. Now though, and how you talked about in class, the school system really imprints this follow-the-leader type behavior into us to do what we’re told. Some of us, more then others, I think if you went to a religious school (hands folded on the desk and raise your hand if you need to speak), I think we as humans are extremely obedient and sometimes even fear the unknown if we don’t do what we’re told or act how we’re supposed to. At the same time, I think all of us have a bit of evil which sometimes can make the world seem like a very scary place.
