Psychology Experiments (Students: please post your comments to the articles you read and comments about the data you collected from your psych experiments below this post!).
These videos have opened my eyes to how humans react to authority. Just like Milgram when the experimenter told the subject to keep going with the shocks. Sometimes they would stop because of their conscious or other they'd continue because the experimenter told the subject, "no matter what happens you will not be held responsible". I think that the soldiers who carry out genocide are under these very conditions. One, they are ordered to kill and I think they feel if they do this they won't be held responsible simply because they are being ordered to do this.
