The Milgram Experiment

The Milgram experiment was a series of seminal social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, which measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with their personal conscience.

Just how much an authority can do to human's behaviour?
Will you continue the experiment knowing that you are going to kill someone?
You will continue the experiment if the person who orders you to do so holds a high authority.
