Re: Perhaps I did not make my point clearly.
I have also studied this particular work of Milgram, and I was in no way criticizing it. In fact, I think both he, and h. arendt are brilliant people.THe point I am making is as follows: At the end of the book, Milgram reports that contrary to his expectations, the subjects who chose to stop participating in the experiment felt guilty, ashamed, etc.
THe question I raise is the following: If you divide the subjects of the milgram study into two groups: Group A, the ones who stopped giving the shocks; Group B, the ones who went through with the experiment all the way to the end. Whic qroup will have a higher rate of depression or other form of psycho-emotional distress?
