Human Behavior Experiments

In the case of Stanley Milgrams Experiment, human behavior is witnessed because in order to do something out of our human rationale, you have to be able to shed some responsibility to an authority figure. The relationship between power and authority plays a huge role in this because when you have both, you tend to abuse it. Likewise in the case of McDonalds, humans tend to take orders from authority figures because they fear that if they don’t obey, there will be serious consequences. For a lot of us, authority figures impose fear on us which make us take directions from them. Lastly, in the Kitty Genovese Experiment, if you are the only person involved you’re much more likely to act in order to help. When other people are involved, you follow their judgment because if not then you will feel like the odd one out.
