  • Analysis of Article If Hitler Asked You To Electrocute A Stranger, Would You? Probably

    1026 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is only natural to dismiss the idea of our own personal flaws, for who with a healthy sense of self wanders in thoughts of their own insufficiency? The idea of hypocrisy is one that strikes a sensitive nerve to most, and being labeled a hypocrite is something we all strive to avoid. Philip Meyer takes this emotion to the extreme by examining a study done by a social psychologist, Stanley Milgram, involving the effects of discipline. In the essay, "If Hitler Asked You to Electrocute a Stranger, Would You? Probably", Meyer takes a look at Milgram's study that mimics the execution of the Jews (among others) during World War II by placing a series of subjects under similar conditions of stress, authority, and obedience. The main theme of this experiment is giving subjects the impression that they are shocking an individual for incorrectly answering a list of questions, but perhaps more interesting is the results that occur from both ends of the research. Meyer's skill in this essay is using both the logical appeal of facts and statistics as well as the pathetic appeal to emotion to get inside the reader's mind in order to inform and dissuade us about our own unscrupulous actions.

  • The Ethics of the Stanford Prison Experiment

    When put into the position of complete authority over others people will show their true colors. I think that most people would like to think that they would be fair, ethical superiors. I know I would, but learning about the Stanford Prison Experiment has made me question what would really happen if I was there. Would I be the submissive prisoner, the sadistic guard, or would I stay true to myself? As Phillip Zimbardo gave the guards their whistles and billy clubs they drastically changed without even realizing it. In order to further understand the Stanford Prison experiment I learned how the experiment was conducted, thought about the ethical quality of this experiment, and why I think it panned out how it did.

Questions asked by lawyers and judges such as “Was it consensual?”, “Were you aware of the victim’s age?” and “Were you aware of the consent laws in Texas?” The worst questions, however, come from the ones that I am judged by. “How could you do such a thing?”, “Why?” and “How do you sleep at night?” These questions, even though my actions had no evil motives, ring in my head every

    I didn't pay much attention to the employee who looked down the aisle as I decided on a small silver headset. But in the midst of grabbing my chosen prize, I noticed the same employee look down the aisle again. I froze, and thought, No way, you're overreacting. It can't be. So, headset in hand, I walked to the end of the aisle and looked over. The employee was nowhere to be seen. I shrugged and looked back down my aisle only to see her at the other end, looking at me! I was startled and quite upset, so I gave her an odd look and started walking to the other side of the section. I wanted to see what would happen, and hoped I was imagining things. There I pretended to browse, then turned around. The employee was right there! She turned quickly to fix something that wasn't out of place. I was infuriated and humiliated at how I was being treated. Not once was I asked if I needed help, but the whole time, I was spied on.

  • Kroger Personal Interaction

    729 Words  | 2 Pages

    A couple of years ago, something happened in Kroger that made me think about the importance of personal interaction. My sister Mary Jean and I were at the store to pick up just a couple of items, but the place was rather crowded. It was around the holidays, the lines were four or five shoppers long, and more than a few of them had carts that were almost overflowing. The overhead lights were noticeable bright, compared to the overcast sky outside, and all around us was the background chatter of people talking on their cell phones or to each other, the beeping of scanners and the thud of groceries being loaded on the conveyor belts. As we stood, waiting, at the end of the express checkout line, I noticed an employee a few inches taller than I, wearing her hair in a short ponytail, approaching us. She thoughtfully informed us that the self-checkout lanes were open if we'd rather not stand in line.

  • Auto Insurance Claim Analysis

    On this Friday, I came into a heaping load of work that would require me to callous my fingers typing the same information repeatedly–opening the claims, making a few phone calls, jotting down some notes in the file, scheduling vehicle inspections, and reviewing photos of damages, along with estimates. Auto insurance claims are never a one-person job; there are usually several individuals assisting to help find the best possible solution. While scrambling to check items off the long to-do list and sorting my load, I met my nemesis. This customer had a question that I did not readily have an answer to. My supervisor came in to save the day, with a satisfying solution. Especially grateful for the assistance, I felt an obligation to express my gratitude. With an already open file, I quickly typed thank you. Later that day, however, Celia scolded me about my comments being a waste of time. Stirring in me a painful sensation began to change my life. Working in a team setting helped me to realize that we learn most about ourselves through our interactions with others.
