After watching the video, answer the following questions.

1)    Despite the protests of the “learner” (a 50-year-old man who supposedly had a heart condition), none of the “teachers” challenged the process before they had applied 225 volts. Two-thirds of the participants went all the way to what could have been a deadly volt of electricity if the shock generator had been real. Why did the “teachers” continue to punish the “learners”?

2)    What conclusion(s) does the researcher Stanley Milgram draw about peoples obedience to authority?

3)    What implications does this have for a democracy?
