The Lord of the Flies and “Milgram Experiment” The lost boys in The Lord of the Flies have many similarities with the test subjects of the “Milgram Experiment”. The boys will listen to whoever the strongest leader is and obey them no matter what, and the subjects in the “Milgram Experiment” do the same. Obedience is focused on power and respect and many people, fictional or real, will listen to the strongest ruler due to their influence over them.The Lord of the Flies and the Obedience to Authority

Third Paper: Analysis Obedience and disobedience to the authority has always been a favorite topic of psychologists and researchers. Stanley Milgram’s experiments shows that people are more often to submit themselves toward authority as compared to the people who disobey.

Everyday, people conform to social norms in order to be accepted into a certain group or society. Although everyone conforms to social standards, not everyone realizes that they do. However, one might register this social conformity if they simply ask themselves the question, “why do I act the way I do?”. For example, when teenagers are surrounded by their peers, they might find it acceptable to drink alcohol and use profanity. On the other hand, when in a school setting, teenagers would not find

Persuasion and propaganda work together to guide society. When thinking about Foss’s idea of persuasion she states, “In the traditional model, change is defined as a shift in the audience in the direction requested by the rhetor, who then has gained some measure of power and control over the audience” (Foss & Griffin 6). This means that any form of rhetoric is designed to change societies thinking and push thinking to a common belief. This is much like propaganda in the fact that propaganda's main

Someone is scrolling through Instagram and stops on a picture. The picture is of a girl, wearing a jean jacket. The person then feels the need to get a jean jacket; this is a social influence. Through studies and experiments, we can conclude whether or not social influence is bad. Why do we as a society feel the need to be accepted and/or ‘fit in’? In an experiment documented by Sasha Alo, a man walks onto an elevator and faces the doors, while everyone else faces the back. The man then proceeds

Reflecting on the Tannen (2001) statement that we will see the world in patterns or groups I think it would be the natural instinct to categorize the stereotypes. From experience, you learn the type of individual you find it comfortable to associate with and tend to seek out those that fit a specific type. As one that works in the corporate world with past college and professional training, I tend to avoid the loud construction worker that works in a trade association. In doing so, I recognize

A person’s reasoning for performing actions and obeying orders is not usually based on one factor but many. Obedience has been a subject of experimentation and question for much of history and modern times, is no different. A person’s seemingly inherent willingness to obey orders even when they go against the person’s own ethics is affected by the person’s own inherent tendencies, the environment in which they act, and their relationship with the superior. A person starts obeying orders the day

the correlation between the level of belief in right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), social dominance orientation (SDO), the condoning of antigay acts, and the type of reasoning behind it in both religious and secular contexts. Although one’s adherence to RWA and SDO are reliable predictors of prejudice, little research has been done connecting them to the framing of antigay acts (Poteat, Horn, and Armstrong 2017). Social dominance orientation “builds on the notion that hierarchies exist in society wherein
