July of 1995 a California congressman said that documents dated as far back as the 70’s show that the world's largest cigarette company tracked hyperactive third graders to see if they would later turn to smoking as a tranquilizer, and gave electric shocks to college students to see if it would make them smoke more. Back in 1995, Rep. Henry A. Waxman displayed stacks of documents from Philip Morris on the House floor that illustrated unethical and possibly illegal research into nicotine. One report

previous established law came to a conclusion regarding the third action. The reason the courts chose the case of Amaya V. Home, Ice, Fuel, and Supply Company was obviously similarity of the two cases. The case Amaya V. Home ruled fright and nervous shock can cause bodily harm to a third person or person, but only if so if the person is in the zone of danger causing fear for one’s own life. This would mean the court would grant the motion of judgement for the sister, but not the mother because, the

student would answer with some concerns but decided to continue with the test. Next the teachers were put in adjoining room seated in front of a shock generator. The shock generator was comprised of multipul switches ranging from 15 volts up to 450 volts. The researcher explained to the teachers that for every wrong answer given they were to administer a shock starting from 15 volts. For every wrong answer after that he was to increase to the next voltage and so on. The student which was a recording

one of Milgram’s associates (pretending to be a real participant). While in another room, the "teacher" would deliver a shock, ranging from 15 to 450 volts, to the “learner" every time an incorrect answer was produced. While the participant believed that he was delivering real shocks to the learner, the associate was simply pretending to be shocked. As the level of shock increases, the learner’s reactions became increasingly dramatic. Toward the end, at maximum voltage, he simply stopped answering

are both strengths and limitations to using this research method as a means of investigating suicide. One practical issue to using qualitative documents is gaining access to them. As said in Item C “many friends and relatives will be in a state of shock and grief” and so may be reluctant to allow researcher’s access to personal things to the victim such as their diary or suicide note, which could be key to discovering the real reasons behind the suicide. However a practical strength is that a lot

certain situations by applying repeated electrical shocks to them. He noted that the neurotic cats showed fearful behaviours and the inhibition of certain behaviours, like eating in the situations in which they had been shocked. He also noted that if such cats were induced to eat in situations that were somewhat like those in which they had received the shock, and then further induced to eat in situations gradually approximating the original shock situation, and then they would gradually lose their
