Thereby, keeping a patient's hopes alive could be essential to their rescue. Secondly, the patient is not in a position to make productive

The analogy provided by Goffman’s study that compares life to theater is a suggestion that often people are prone to conduct themselves in a manner sensitive to the reactions, perceptions, and expectations of others when in public (McIntyre, 2011, pp. 126-134).

Milgram’s aim was to find a way to understand why individuals obey to an authority figure. By gaining volunteers he advertised in the local newspapers, asking if people would participate in a study concerning the effect of punishment on learning.

most famous studies conducted at the time, in 1963. Stanley Milgram was very interested in the effects of interactions on behavior.

The subjects of the study believed they

The Milgram experiment is one of the most controversial psychology experiments of the past century. I was familiar with it prior to accessing the simulation on the elearning site from an ABC television Four Corners episode on the nature of torture. So when I participated in the simulation, I stopped administering the shock at the first sign of distress from the subject at thirty watts.
